Content We Liked: 14th December, 2025

Starting off this week with a classic CWL recommendation to click through and view the entire gallery with gowarhead's Thousand Sons, a deliciously darker take on the sons of Magnus that amps up the techno-sorcery vibes with use of some judicious conversions. Particularly love those blank helmets on the elite units, a swipe of greenstuff over the eyes changing the vibes so damn effectively.

Skipping head from the 30th Millennium to the 41st, with this heavily converted Redemptor Dread from antorisan on Reddit. This thing is so heavy metal cool, and would legitimately pass as an official kit with its design language not straying too far from the base design of the Redemptor chassis.

Deep Sea Scavenger Diorama by enbygoblinpaints

Our final entry this week comes in from enbygoblinpaints on Bluesky, featuring this adorably creepy lil' cyclops creeping around in a damp and dangerous facility. We really love how despite both being grimy and beaten up, both the figure and the environment stand out thanks to the clever use of differentiating dirt and distress, really making the scavenger pop despite the muted tones.
