Content We Liked: October 9th, 2022

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

This pair of sicaran tanks are a perfect balance of crispy clean and weathered – and just look at those checkers!

Gareth’s first tweet has a beautifully saturated daemon prince painted with perfect pinks and purples. And as a bonus it’s killing the best (worst) legion. Greg please don’t read this.

These possessed are another brilliant example of using bright saturated colors on Chaos models. We love how they step away from the more subdued tones often found in Warhammer.

The sculpting and painting on this Imperial Vice Admiral are just impeccable. A fantastic custom character for a Necromunda campaign.

This flying robot murder baby is going to give me nightmares for weeks. The fantastic use of parts from multiple lines and great colors creates something unique yet fitting perfectly into 40k.

I can’t resist showing off Imperial Fists, especially something as well done as this Leviathan. The mixed in Templar Brethren colors, the weathering, the basing, the OSL, it all comes together into something spectacular.

For the budding game designers among us, or just people who want to add a little more nuance when talking about game design and balance, this 15 minute video looks at how designers have solved 11 different problems.
