The Week Ending February 22nd, 2020
Although it’s a big internet out there, the Warhammer digital universe is pretty small and spread out. In Content We Liked, we take a look at the articles, videos, podcasts, and products that caught our eyes or were noteworthy during the prior week you might have missed. Here’s what we liked this week:
In the Wild:
- 40K Stats New Faction Page
40K Stats Website
40K Stats is an amazing resource for anyone interested in keeping tabs on the metagame, and their archive of top lists is something that’s helped us out time and again when putting together articles. That just got a whole lot better with a new page that sorts the lists by faction, allowing you to quickly find the ones that interest you. - A Trio of Very Funky Squats (Twitter)
A Very Colourful Mindstealer Sphiranx (Instagram)
Louise Sugden on Twitter and Instagram
Louise continues to wow us with pretty much everything she puts up, this time three squats who are ready to rock and a beautiful take on the newest Good Kitty available from GW. - 28 Magazine Volume 2
28 Magazine Website
28 Magazine is a relatively new digital publication showcasing painting, art and hobby work across Game’s Workshop’s suite of skirmish game. Their content has some incredible production values behind it and volume 2 has just been published and looks amazing. We’re particular fans of the in-depth guide to building Mordheim scenery. - 40K Industrial Crane Terrain Piece
Rapid Tabletop on Instagram
It’s always amazing seeing what skilled terrain builders come up with, and this gigantic crane really caught our eye. - An Ominous Squad of Freeguild Guard
The Khorne Werewolf Guy on Instagram
One of the best things about the Cities of Sigmar is that they let people pick their own theme and create beautiful miniatures to match. This unit comes together really beautifully to create an aura of sinister menace. - Sergeant Jovan with NMM
@nohara_painter on Twitter
Sergeant Jovan is a great model that’s inspired some fantastic paint jobs, and this one uses non-metalic metal techniques to create something incredibly striking. - Weathered Kharadron Skyship
Ben Smith on Instagram
There are plenty of schemes out there that show off the shiny, gleaming version of steampunk for AoS’s Sky Dwarves, but this piece goes in the other direction, creating something really sinister and aged that looks like it’s just returned from a journey to some unspeakable cthonic depths. - Warcry Temple of Khaine
Peachy on Warhammer Community
The awesome AoS terrain kits launched alongside warcry are combined with a number of great models to create a highly modular board that looks like a blast to play on. - Cities of Sigmar Showcase and Battle Report
Warhammer Live on Twitch
More great Cities of Sigmar content, this time going deep on Ricki Smith’s Midnight City army (which you can also check out on his twitter). - Leman Russ Lenses
@CadianShock on Twitter
It’s always great to see people showing off their techniques, and these lenses look fantastic. - Vik Vijay vs. Lawrence Baker – Battle Report
Tabletop Tactics on YouTube
After these two players went 6-0 at a major in the UK we ran interviews with both of them, and they also decided to play a “7th round” battle report to see whether the Iron Hands or Grey Knights won out in the end. The video ends up being a real tactical masterclass, and is using the new ITC missions as well, so is a great watch for tournament players. - Codex Compliant: Resin Retrospective
Snipe and Wib on YouTube
A delve into the history of licensed resin models for 40K in the years prior to Forge World existing. If you’ve ever wondered what people are referring to when they talk about Armourcast, this is worth a watch. - Pain Train Battlewagon
Chris Burwood on Twitter
Saga of the Beast will be upon us soon, and at least one Ork horde is ready to mount up and roll out with this awesome Battlewagon conversion.
