Content We Liked: September 12, 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

• This amazing Gundam diorama @joukoko4 via Twitter This is an incredibly cool diorama with a lot going on and that's before you get to the lights and sound. Just amazing stuff. The smoke and fire techniques here are amazing.
• Laura (Pegastyx) is at it again @pegastyx via Twitter We could put multiple posts from Laura up here every week. This week she's tackling Nagash and it absolutely rules.
• Sulkan's Dark Mechanicus Priest @Sulkan42 via Twitter I love seeing conversions off the new Soulblight models and this dark mechanicus conversion is one of the best I've seen yet.
• Exokan's Imperial Aristocrat @exokan via Instagram Speaking of which, here's another Imperial citizen from exokan, based on some classic John Blanche art.
• Russ Charles' Sons of Behemat Army @russ_charles via Twitter Holy shit these are cool. I love the mad scientist/classic monster vibe going on here. I never realized how creepy a grinning giant could be.
• True-Scale Rhino terrain for Kill Team u/KeepOffMyLawnFeds via Reddit This is a cool idea - 3D printing larger/true-scale crashed vehicle terrain works very well for Kill Team, a game with no vehicles, since you won't ever have to worry about other models throwing off the size.
• This cool Necron diorama @WarhammerIKE via Twitter This is a neat idea and I love the multi-layered aspect of it.
• Uther Pendragon @KenKenFOM via Twitter The armor on this model is just insane. Love the details and the blending.
