Content We Liked: 3rd September, 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.

Clowngron’s Final Form
by u/Dububabu in WorldEaters40k

Lets start this week by goin’ round and round on a nightmare merry-go-round with this utterly demented clown’d up Angron. This is some wholesale commitment to a very silly bit and we’re all here for it. Never thought I’d be complimenting the blending on a clown wig but here we are.

 

Keepin’ this circus rolling with something a little more Del Toro than Chiodo Brothers, the Carnival of Chaos is one of those concepts that’s wide open for some amazingly twisted conversion fodder and goddamn does this one land. Evoking the old school Plague Tower with its leering visage, and some vaudevillian ghoulishness with the puppet coachman and the exquisitely free-handed posters peeling from the side, it’s hard not to gush at how creepily gorgeous the entire piece is.

 

Taking a break from clownin’ around, we’ve got this seriously cool Marine terminator who evokes some serious Rogue Trader vibes from but a few simple conversions. The Cigar chomping Esher head, the extra banding and rivets added to the armour and the converted Assault Cannon make this one veteran who you know is gonna kick your ass.
