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
- UnitCrunch
dixhuit
This new mathammer web app calculates average results of one unit attacking another but also allows you to save profiles, apply modifiers to rolls, add effects like Blast and Tesla, and it’s completely free. Great stuff. - Some insane painting work from nohara_painter

I swear Japanese hobbyists are on a different level. The Celestine here is insanely good. - A Primaris Lieutenant having a bad day
@MamikonPaints via Twitter
I’m here for every one of these dead or dying Primaris jerks being crushed underfoot. #chaos - Ivan K’s Ultramarine
@ivan_tashun via Twitter
Ivan does some very cool work painting up an Ultramarine without using precise edge highlighting and layering, only using drybrushing, washing, and stippling. - Sprueless’ Test Sister
@Sprueless via Twitter
If this is how the whole army will look, I think you’ll be just fine. Particularly love the robes. - Lego Ultramarines Captain

A cool build that combines two of my favorite hobbies. If you wanted a way to make 40k more expensive, this is it. - JourneytotheWarp’s amazing Silver Templars

I love seeing homebrew and rare successor chapters painted to this standard and these Silver Templars are just really lovely. Great kitbashing work too. - The 40kToday Podcast
