A New Year of Loot!



Glad tidings to you and yours from The Art of Caesura!

I hope you all had a fantastic Christmas! I sure did! Those readers who've been on the Caesura train since last year will remember that I like to leave the major reminiscing and reflecting on the past year for the birthday of the blog (aged 2 this year!), a few weeks hence. But don't worry, you didn't rise out of your turkey and eggnog-induced coma for nout! Today you'll be getting a couple sneak peeks at what lies ahead for 2018!

Eagle-eyed readers may have noticed that one of the books I was reading earlier in the year (which I list at the bottom of each blog post) was the Kharadron Overlords Battletome. 

Since then, I've been formulating all sorts of awesome ideas for this new army I'll be starting this year, and my amazing wife got me jump-started with two brilliant models from the range:

...gotta love the top hat and moustache guns!

I have big plans for this ship...

 The next one I'm super excited about is: NECROMUNDA!! My fam got me the starter box a few weeks ago and I can't wait to really sink my teeth into it! I still haven't decided which House I'm going to fully invest in, but with pictures they've shown of House Orlock, it might have to be them...
My lovely wife with this lovely game!

 Now, those were just a few of the adventures that lie ahead. I kickstarted two even bigger projects and they're set to land early in the new year:

The first game was awesome, this one looks very intriguing indeed!

I love Orcs, I love zombies. I think this is going to be a good fit!


So, a new Age of Sigmar Army! Necromunda! A new World of Smog! My first forays into Zombicide! And doubtless many other projects along the way! We've a big year ahead of us, so buckle up and enjoy The Art of Caesura!

The Full Stop - Oathsworn: Into the Deepwood

The monstrous Deepwood has consumed the land.  No farms or fields remain. There is only corruption, rot and the endless shadow of the twisted trees. ~ Shadowborne Games Pot's Peace, Oathsworn. Welcome to The Art of Caesura! What's all this then, TWO posts in one day!? Well yes, you see timing is of the essence here. Today marks the 200th post of The Art of Caesura , so if you haven't had a chance to check out the celebratory post, please do so !  There is also a Kickstarter ongoing at the moment, that I am getting quite excited by, but it closes on Tuesday, so if I left it till next Friday to tell you about it...it would be too late! Hence, in a world first, two hits of The Art of Caesura in one day! Now onward, into the world of Oathsworn: Into the Deepwood !

The Full Stop - A Deep Dive into Warhammer 40k Combat Patrol

Welcome to Combat Patrol!  Whether you are a new recruit to Warhammer 40,000  or a seasoned veteran,  Combat Patrol is all about getting your forces  into action as quickly as possible. - Combat Patrol Rules - Games Workshop Welcome back to the Art of Caesura! Recent readers will see that we've been looking at our fun little Warhammer gathering, KillCon over the past few weeks. Two weeks ago I provided a narrative verion of my game of Combat Patrol of my Black Templars vs. Tristan's Tyranids where as l ast week I gave a more "gamer oriented" play-by-play of the game.  Today I want to dive deeper into this accessible and engaging game-type. I want to argue that Combat Patrol is not just for beginners. Combat Patrol in 10th Edition is Games Workshop's new smallest scale Warhammer 40k game type. But unlike in previous editions, where it just meant that both sides took 500 point armies and went at it, in this edition, Games Workshop has changed things up a little

"The Skinny" - Scale 75 Flesh Paint Set Review

The complexion of a light-skinned face  divides into three zones: The forehead has a light golden colour  because it's freer of muscles and surface capillaries. The ears, cheeks and nose all lie within the central zone of the face.  Those areas have more capillaries carrying oxygenated blood near the surface, causing the reddish colour... The zone from the nose to the chin (where there are relatively more veins carrying blue deoxygenated blood) tends toward a bluish, greenish or greyish colour. Some artists accentuated this subtle bluish or greenish hue to bring out the reddish lip colour. Color and Light (page 156) - James Gurney Welcome all to The Art of Caesura! So I finished all the models in Warhammer Quest Silver Tower!! Wooohooo!! Now for something a bit different!  This week I'm going to do something I've never done on the blog before: write a review!! I've been wanting to write my thoughts on  Scale 75 's Flesh Paint Set for ov
