Content We Liked: 15th October, 2023

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.

Kitbashes rock, and this looks like the type of that would turn up in the early Gaunt's Ghost novels. Cobbling stuff together like this from a novel idea can lead to some really great results.

Got dang. White is a hard colour to add nuance to (skill issue on my part, perhaps) but there's so much depth from the grim, the chips, and then it pops at you with the crimson and black. Don't even get me started on the runes, they're lush as hell, and it's fun to see the rare Space Wolf successor.

Robots Rock. Greebling Rocks. 40k scenery kits absolutely slap when a little extra oomf is added and it can turn a simple, but effective paint scheme into something that pops with interest.

This Week on Goonhammer

Goonhammer Reviews

A massively busy-busy week for Goonhammer. We've got nuclear hot takes about Warhammer day, still-warm takes about the new Horus Heresy plastic kits, looks at Magic the Gatherings newest card set, a rundown of the nightmare crews of Malifaux, a glance at some cowardly, perhaps even perfidious, soviet tanks, and a look at Conquests' model range.

Other Cool Stuff

A fun week as the Turn Order gang announce the first article in the Turn Order Plays series, with the debut game being Vampire: the Requiem. Which self-loathing vampire will come out on top? (I hope it's mine.) As well as that we've got another industry round up to keep us all informed about the big happenings in our gaming spaces.
