"Beacon of Faith" - Grimaldus - Part 1

As grizzled a warrior as his Chapter has ever known,  High Chaplain Grimaldus is a beacon of Imperial faith.  His fortitude is such that many of his brothers believe him invincible.  His will is singular, his zeal coldly furious,  and his martial skill attested by the trail of broken foes  laid at his heels and his legendary stand at Helsreach. - Games Workshop Welcome back to The Art of Caesura! Happy Valentine's Day! My goodness me, work is among the busiest it's ever been this week! I just calculated it and I've worked 57 hours this week! Crikey! It has left precious little time for life outside work, but things should be back to normal next week.  As I continue to work away on the Gallowdark Terrain (currently neck deep in the riveting task of filing down all of the wall connections), on the blog, we will turn our attentions back to where we left off before all the Christmas festivities kicked in; back to my Black Templars.  Today is the first post...

"Creepy Corridors" - Gallowdark Terrain - Part 2

"Micro changes in air density, my ass."  - Ripley, Alien Hi all, welcome back to The Art of Caesura! I'm sending you loads of positive vibes, especially if you need them today! Today's post is a continuation of last week's , so if you haven't had a chance to check out that one, I'd suggest you do so... Well, well, well, "taking a break" from the Gallowdark turned into a year-long hiatus! I've had another kid since I originally wrote the last post! But you know what, I've painted a TON of fun Hellboy miniatures and even did a few big jobs on my Black Templars, so it was just the break I needed from this mammoth terrain project. But now I want to throw myself back into it and finish it off!  So let's pick up right where we left off last week, and that was with copper! I had mentioned that it was the copper that did me in the last time. I had made it about a third of the way through all of the copper before giving this project a rest...a...

"Insane from Terrain" - Gallowdark Terrain - Part 1

Hello again, and welcome back to The Art of Caesura! I hope you enjoyed the 9th birthday party for this blog last week . The birthday posts are always quite an undertaking, but I enjoy putting in the effort to mark the occasion. As I mentioned in the post, it's also nice to force ourselves to reflect from time to time! So at the very tail-end of last week's post, we saw the blog's birthday present: the largest model of the year (or at least the largest undertaking): The Gallowdark Terrain! So I actually wrote today's post almost exactly 1 year ago! It was January 2024! I've updated it slightly, but by the end, you'll see why it is only appearing on the blog now... *** Two years ago the Gallowdark terrain was released for the "Into the Dark" Kill Team season. Subsequently, this was introduced into larger 40k in the "Boarding Actions" game mode. It was my hobby goal for 2023 (and then again for 2024) to get this terrain painted. I really REALLY...
