The Week Ending February 7th, 2020

Although it’s a big internet out there, the Warhammer 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. Here’s what we liked this week:

In the Wild:

• Converting Captain Lazarus' Wing Helmet

  When Lazarus was released, we were a bit baffled by the notion that you couldn't have him wearing his winged helmet. Fortunately, Poifessor's guide fixes all of that, and the end result looks great.

  The ICs Podcast
  This week Carl and the gang talk about Warhammer 40,000 Apocalypse, which in our opinion is mad underrated.

• Migsula's Blood Angels Leviathan Migsula via Instagram Just a sick paint job on a cool model.
