Content We Liked: July 19, 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

UnitCrunch dixhuit This new mathammer web app calculates average results of one unit attacking another but also allows you to save profiles, apply modifiers to rolls, add effects like Blast and Tesla, and it's completely free. Great stuff.
Some insane painting work from nohara_painter @nohara_painter via Twitter I swear Japanese hobbyists are on a different level. The Celestine here is insanely good.
A Primaris Lieutenant having a bad day @MamikonPaints via Twitter I'm here for every one of these dead or dying Primaris jerks being crushed underfoot. #chaos
Ivan K's Ultramarine @ivan_tashun via Twitter Ivan does some very cool work painting up an Ultramarine without using precise edge highlighting and layering, only using drybrushing, washing, and stippling.
Sprueless' Test Sister @Sprueless via Twitter If this is how the whole army will look, I think you'll be just fine. Particularly love the robes.
Lego Ultramarines Captain SweaterKetchup via r/Warhammer40k A cool build that combines two of my favorite hobbies. If you wanted a way to make 40k more expensive, this is it.
JourneytotheWarp's amazing Silver Templars @journeytothewa1 via Twitter I love seeing homebrew and rare successor chapters painted to this standard and these Silver Templars are just really lovely. Great kitbashing work too.
The 40kToday Podcast Podcast 40kToday is a great daily podcast that covers all kinds of topics in the hobby, from competitive play to painting and modeling to narrative play. Check out the Friday, July 10 episode when I was on talking about Crusade.
