Content We Liked: 24th December, 2023

Although it’s a big internet out there, the Tabletop 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.

On the Internet at Large

Starting our penultimate CWL of the year off with a two part Space Marine Saturnalia, we bring you this gorgeously clean Deathwatch Watch Capatain. There’s nothing too crazy or out there about this piece, just a few effective kitbashes and a crisp clean lick of paint and he’s jumping right into our hearts. This is the kinda model you see in your head when you’re planning out an army.

 

Second in our Astartes Stocking Stuffer, just about the most animated Iron Hand we ever did see. Like our first entry there’s really nothing too crazy about this one… well besides the pose thanks to cribbing Dominion Zephon’s body as the base of the piece. Just an Iron Hand, his iron hand, a big friggin’ sword and that wonderfully oil slick black armour.

It’s the season for giving, and boy is this one hell of a gift. A full modelled Blood Bowl pitch, with a game-usable board, stands, announcer box, and a fully functional scoreboard. This is an insane project and quite frankly, we’re jealous. Mega jealous. Just watch the video and join us in our Grinchy green-ness.

Oh Winter, it’s wet and cold and wet and windy and WET. At least in certain accursed Albions. So what better time to for Kill Team: Salvation to drop? We look at the new box set and its two included Kill Teams as they duke it out on a Grimdark oil platform. We also review The Silver Bayonet, a Napoleonic-era Weird War wargame.
