Content We Liked: 25th January, 2026

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.

Welcome to another week of Content We Liked! Its still January, its still wet and cold and sucks in general, but we've got some fantastic hobby goodness to show you starting with this grimdark fantasy merchant by grim and darker on Instagram. Lumbering right off the album art of the grimiest Stoner Metal album you've ever zoned out to, this skeletal peddler and his tired looking steed are an awesome testament to the power of oils and pigments as painting tools to achieve grim and dirty looks that boost a model beyond its plastic/resin/whatever origins into looking like a living, wheezing thing in miniature.

Archmagos Prime on Abeyant by Explosive Florist

Jumping over to Bluesky for our next entry by user Explosive Florist, who brings us an elaborately converted Archmagos skimming across the battlefield on an Abeyant. We're not strangers to Mechanicum Weirdos on CWL, but there's a regal quality to Archmagos Ekatn H3-k∂ Ti here that really makes them stand out amongst her fellow weirdos, an overworldly religious grace that suits her high cult status. We also really, really love the use of a Epic scale Automata as a figure on her holo display, adding such charm to an already impressive piece.

Age of Sigmar/Blood Bowl Giants by a-wa-c

Heading over to Tumblr for our last entry this week, with a truly inventive take on depicting Giants on the tabletop for both Blood Bowl and Age of Sigmar by a-wa-c, scaling the big lugs up to a scale where their extremities are the only thing visible. This so so damn inspired, dripping with whimsy and fairytale playfulness. If they were on the table across from us, we wouldn't be able to stop smiling. A "Most Creative Team" award well won.

Century of the Vampire: Daybreakers (2009)
