Content We Liked: April 30th, 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

Kicking off this week we have a genius bit of Ork engineering that we hope becomes a trend, hollowing out appropriately scaled car kits to smash into Ork buggies. ‘Erbie da Snazzbug here is aces and we hope to see similar conversions.

 

A pair of WarhammerFest attendees for our next entries, first this Warhound titan having a wonderful time splashing around on the beach with their Mechanicum weirdo buddies. Not only are the gang wonderfully painted with some really well executed water effects, but it’s the little touches that really make them like the braisers mounted on the titan’s shoulders that make this piece perfect.

 

Meanwhile on the opposite end of the scale of restraint we have ASL_Miles’ utterly lurid Maggotkin warband. Pretty sure we’ve seen these guys in the midst of a fever dream, rancidly colourful!

 

It’s been way too long since we featured one of pegastyx’s creations in this roundup, and this baroque’d to the gills rendition of Dante absolutely deserves some attention. You can just feel the catechisms and guilt dripping from its every pore, resplendent.

Y’gotta love Gargant players, like Knight players they take all the time and investment the larger scale kits demand and pour so much love and attention into their giant plastic children. The different biomes and themes for each Gargant are inspired, giving real good throwback vibes to the Ogre Maneaters.
