Although it’s a big internet out there, the Tabletop 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
We absolutely adore this enormous rendition of a Great Unclean One on a rampage by the prolific Lego building team Brickman, currently on display at the Melbourne Museum in Australia. The sheer enormity and presence of the Great Daemon really highlighted in this different medium.
Emperor’s Children apothecary dreadnought. A rare, heavily modified and customized Leviathan chassis from the Heresy era. #WarhammerCommunity #Warmongers pic.twitter.com/xcVSKZtI9z

A brilliantly realised conversion of the new plastic Leviathan kit that plays so well with the often underutilised themes of medical experimentation of the Heresy Era Emperor’s Children. Particular highlight in the left arm being replaced with an emergency medical rig, the unfortunate Marine clasped inside looking halfway to becoming a Dreadnaught himself!
To the ogors of Hallowmire, Dread Maws are religious idols of the Gulping God. That the fimir known as Geartha had seemingly tamed one should be considered a heresy, but has instead won the one-eyed beastmaster both respect and a place in the tribe's ranks. pic.twitter.com/Rzs0BecyI6

Simple but hella effective conversion of two long neglected Forge World creations, tied together wonderfully with a delightfully naturalistic paintjob and some homebrew fiction. This is a worm the likes of which The Gods have never seen.
A rickety Celestial Hurricanum for my undead City of Sigmar, Crown City. Hope you folks dig it! from ageofsigmar
A wonderfully weirdo twist on the Celestial Hurricanum, the kind of rickety madcap design that wouldn’t look out of place in the old WHFB Empire alongside the Landships and company.
Goddamn, an amazing custom resculpt of a truly grotesque giant, the decended jaw and torrent of barely digested… offal nailing the monstrous hunger of this malformed beast.
An easy to follow guide for making lunar bases relatively quickly and without the need for any rollers or other such gimmicks. Perfect for all your Moon based needs!
