Content We Liked: December 13, 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. 

On the Internet at Large

• Stealth Suit Phasing out of holding position Luigibro357 via r/Tau40k I will never get sick of the cool camouflage effects people do on stealth suits. It's one of the coolest things about the T'au faction.
• Arcane Rubber Hobby's Insane Diver Diorama @arcane_rubber_hobby via Instagram This is one of the coolest dioramas that I have ever seen, with an amazing lighting effect triggered by adding a magnetized seagull to the top of the model. Just ridiculously cool shit.
• Tom Hutchings' Librarian @minus_tom via Instagram Tom has done an insanely good job painting this Blood Angels terminator librarian. I love the bright colors on it.
• Ivan K's TMM Gold Guide @ivan_tashun via Twitter Ivan's done a fantastic job painting Valerian and Aleya recently and in this thread he talks about his method for painting golden armor. Pro click.
• Komacchi's Firestrike Servo-Turret @komacchi via Twitter The paint job on this turret is great, with some really smooth dark gray shading.
• Primaris Kevin's Van Saar @PrimarisKevin via Twitter Our own "Primaris" Kevin (of Hammer of Math fame) has his own Twitter where he posts minis. Recently he's been working on Van Saar.
• RogueShader's Assault Intercessor @RogueShader via Twitter The shading and weathering work that have gone into this model are insane and the results are gorgeous. I'm looking forward to RogueShader painting Abaddon.
• Another rad Kharadron Overlords Airship @anamnesisstudio via Twitter I never get sick of seeing cool Kharadron Overlords ships and this thing is massive.
• Dana Howl's Skorpekh Destroyer Lord
  @dana_howl via Twitter
  Dana's insane two-year hobby streak continues with some wonderfully pink Necrons and an excellent Skorpekh Lord.
• Rob Hawkins' Verminlord @RobHawkinsHobby The Skaven don't get enough love - the Verminlord is a great model and Rob has absolutely done it justice here.
