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.

We’ve featured this piece before in various stages of in progress, but sweet Khorne it’s a hell of a thing to see finally finished and painted. Banger concept with banger execution, big jealous of anyone who got to play against it.
Now this is a hell of a conversion, we’ve seen more than a few Screamer Killers modified to cover up the bald spot on the base model, but this is the first to give one an elongated mouth like the classic mini, as well as the weird… sacks? Plates? Whatever, on the side of its head. Very neat way to make the Screamer more unique.
We’re never not gonna feature these Flesh Tearers and can you blame us? Taking one of the best canon Marine schemes out there and rendering it so richly will always earn you a spot in this lil’ roundup.
My glottkin knight conversion is pretty much complete

July is weirdo Knight season apparently. The Glottkin have always been a popular base for Nurgle Knight conversions but rarely do they look so seamlessly integrated like this one The super saturated, almost psychedelic paintjob adding a bit of that Nurgly cartoonishness into the grimy mix.
And speaking of Grimy Weirdos, it’s Turnip time. This piece is so simple but it works so damn well, looking almost illustrated. Sinisterly cool lil’ weirdo.
