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
Because its good to share good 'quality of life' tools for the wargaming hobby.

It’s a matter of scientific, objective, divine fact that drilled barrels just look much better. But that truth comes with a fact, it sucks to do. It’s so easy to misplace your drill and end up having to carve away even more of the barrel, or you’ll be stuck with a misaligned bullet hole.
Enter this incredibly ingenious 3D printed alignment tool by Obsessive Converter, a brilliant little gadget that slips over the barrel of your teeny tiny weapons to help you get that perfectly flush positioning. You can grab the STL files for this Space Marine specific variant on Obsessive Converter’s Patreon above, we can’t wait to see if they release a variant for other factions.

You know what the coolest thing about the Thousand Sons canon schemes are? You can paint Heresy-era Sons in post-Heresy colours and visa-versa, and they still look like the coolest bookworms around. We love this rendition of the new Praetor figure in this rich, velvety blue, with the rainbow on the headdress adding such a vibrant pop.
Legion of the Damned Scout Squad

Feels like we don’t see many Legion of the Damned out there in the hobby space, so it’s real cool when we do, and even cooler when we see them doing sick nasty action movie moves like this one. Brilliant use of the old Cities of Death building parts.
We don’t have anything really coherent to say about this one, it’s a Gundam Marine. Just imagine the entire Goonhammer office staff running around screaming hell yeah HELL YEAH until we get a noise complaint.
