Content We Liked: February 8, 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

• Martin Wolf's Lord Castellant @martin_Paints via Twitter This is a wonderful conversion with a lovely paint job. A little conversion work has gone a long way here.
• Modern Synthesist's Custom Tyranid Dominatrix
  @Mod_Synth via Twitter
  I haven't seen a Tyranid Dominatrix in about 20 years and it's awesome to see Mod Synth doing the work to bring a modern one to life. Can't wait to see the final product.
• Lewis' Redemptor @lewis_paints via Twitter This Redemptor is looking really good so far and the detail work is very impressive.
• Hidalgo's Tutorial on NMM Black JuanHidalgo Miniatures via YouTube Juan is one of those painters who is so good it almost makes me angry. He's done a fantastic tutorial on how to paint amazing black armor and it's worth checking out.
• Belzebee's Super Mecha Broodlord @SHeroQueer via Twitter I love the concept behind this Broodlord and the conversion work that went into it. Makes a great accompaniment to a Bladed Cog GSC army.
• Dies' Death Guard Land Raider face @Sir_Dies via Twitter This is one of the grossest things I've ever seen on a model and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT. God I can't stop staring at it. What I like most about it is that it's not even that difficult to replicate the conversion.
• LE's Undead Mega-Gargant @1927822LE via Twitter LE has done an amazing job painting up this undead/Shyish Mega-Gargant. Makes me wish the army was better.
• A beautiful Slambo Randall_____Flagg via r/minipainting It may be a work in progress but it looks amazing already. The NMM chromework on this Slambo is amazing.
• Christoffer Schou's Saturnine Sons of Horus @DornsArrow via Twitter These are a great mix of cool conversion and great paint job. I'm always a little surprised that Forge World hasn't redone Saturnine Terminators and these are maybe my favorite take at making a conversion that modernizes the design that I've seen so far.
