Content We Liked: February 21, 2021

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

• Kitbashing a Fleshmower with a pair of drywall sinks u/Dice4theDiceGod via r/Deathguard40k This is a really clever conversion trick that makes it easy to convert Dark Imperium Bloat Drones to something a little more useful.
• Four Years of Progress

  Comparing your painted models to efforts years ago tends to be pretty satisfying and a great way to feel better about what you've accomplished
• Scratch-built Chaos Knight of Nurgle u/theWarsinger via r/Warhammer40k For a first attempt, it's pretty dope. Lot of cool work put in here with hot glue. Very gross. 7/7
• Grumpy Old Orknids @knifesquid via Twitter I feel like this is a joke that I'm not in on, but these are still pretty funny to look at
• Me-U's CAT-AT @MeU_317 via Twitter OK this on the other hand is a joke everyone can get in on. I'm always here for these cat models.
• VictorQ's Imagifier @VictorQuesRamos via Twitter We don't showcase enough Sisters of Battle models. This is a beautiful model with an interesting, less traditional paint scheme.
• Building Necromunda Terrain out of junk @paintmonger via Twitter This is a great thread with a lot of cool ideas and examples of how you can turn stuff lying around your house into striking terrain.
• Venerable Brother Brutus @zeilimeili via Twitter This is a lovely redemptor dreadnought with some fantastic shading work on the armor plates.
• RookieBrushes' Pathfinders @Rookiebrushes via Twitter I don't know if Pathfinders are the best value in 40k (though they're definitely up there), but these are certainly lovely.
• Antonio Pulvirenti's Custode is not what it seems @olthar via Instagram Normally I'm not a huge fan of the Alpha Legion decloaking effect but Antonio has done a fantastic job painting it here.
• SHAKES - How I Overcome hand tremors while painting Black Magic Craft via YouTube If you struggle with shaky hands while painting, this is a good tutorial to check out.
• A pair of Lamenters Impulsors @BinxPaints via Twitter I swear the Lamenters were invented by the GW staff on a dare to create the most obnoxious scheme to paint. I have nothing but insane respect for anyone who does a full army of them. These are lovely.
