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
Josh’s Essay on Race and Representation in Warhammer
FreshPrinceofBielTan via their personal blog
Recent addition to the Screaming Mass that is Goonhammer Josh “Fresh Prince of Biel-Tan” has penned a fantastic thinkpiece ruminating about Representation within the various Warhammer settings and the often misused refrain of “You can paint them however you like”. Well worth a read.
Ólafur’s Converted “Deff Dred”

The best conversions are those that look like they could have came straight from a boxed kit, and this Beast Snaggas take on a Deff Dred fits that criteria perfectly. Definitely worth a hearty WAAAGH and then some.
XiaoF07’s King Piccolo Statue

May 9th has already come and gone, but it’s always Piccolo Day in spirit. Dragonball’s original biggest bad looks fantastic here, the exaggerated highlight and shading lending him such villainous menace befitting the Demon King.
CatGarden Miniatures’ Apocalypse Company Terminator
CatGarden Miniatures via Facebook
Last week we featured this art piece by Wolfdawg Art depicting a Chaos Marine in the hilariously freehand-heavy Apocalypse Company colour-scheme. Were we surprised to find someone had stepped up to the plate to recreate the piece, with CatGarden Miniatures not only managing to recreate the Apocalypse Company scheme, but also capture the atmosphere and sinister energy of the original art. Just a fantastic convergence of Hobby.
3armotion’s Warframe Corsairs

Y’know, I’m shocked y’don’t see more Warframe minis out there, either converted or printed. Hell a Warframe skirmish game would be pretty damn neat with the video game’s procedurally generated levels and whatnot. But until then, these converted Aeldari Corsairs are a damn good stopgap, and not just because they have some of my favourite frames (Harrow mains unite).
