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.
Before we jump into the main body of this, we wanted to highlight Games Workshop’s (very good) statement making clear that hate groups are not welcome in Warhammer 40K. We are 100% behind them on this, and are very happy to see this important message spelled out so clearly.

I (Wings) am a well known Wraithknight appreciator, and this may be the most awesome one I’ve ever seen. Seriously, go look at this stuff, it’s wild.

Themed auxiliaries are a great way to go the extra mile on a Guard list, and this converted Bullgryn is a fantastic example of that.
