We then touch on how just days later GW revealed Horus Heresy artwork that almost certainly used AI tools to give a Space Marine a sixth finger. Finally we discuss the state of miniature hobby YouTube channels and how the algorithm necessitates boring, but searchable content. Watch Trademark Film’s interview with John Blanche.See the six-finger Space Marine.Watch RedWetSkeleton’s hobby sessions on YouTube.
