Content We Liked: April 4, 2021

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. 

On the Internet at Large

    Brent has written a nice article about losing games at 40k and how to play when you roll up to the table and your chances of winning range from “slim” to “none.”

    This is an amazing conversion and I love the little backstory behind it.
  • Some amazing Armigers

    The work that has gone into making the undercarriage of these Armigers look great is just insane. And they do look great.

    This is a very cool LotR-adjacent conversion with some great skin shading.
  • James Lynch’s Wight King
    @SpongiePaint via Twitter
    Are you sick of drab, dark wights that look like they’re having no fun being dead? Then check out this wonderfully colorful take on them.

    @spikyjames via Twitter
    Quartered marine schemes are always impressive, and James has done an amazing job with this one.
  • Sophie’s Sand Mash Tutorial
    @sophiesaurus_rex via Twitter
    Sophie walks us through a great tutorial on how to great a textured paste that’s great for adding bulk and texture to terrain.
  • Tita’s Dark Angel Terminators
    @i_titam via Twitter
    The Heresy Dark Angels Terminators models are just excellent and Tita has done a great job with these.
