"Vile Reclamation" - Abomination (Sawhawk)

“Many question the curiously human faces some abominations have,

And how they came to be lodged in a monstrosity of flesh and steel.”

Malifaux 2E: Crossroads

Hey dudes and dudettes, welcome back to The Art of Caesura!

And welcome to the first non-World of Smog mini on my blog so far. I had heaps of fun with this grotesque little Malifaux dude. He’s an abomination from Leviticus’ set, and man is he tiny! I dub him "SAWHAWK"

I have to say, this guy went together really smoothly, there were minimal mould lines to clean and all his various limbs popped right into place.

He really made me think of some monstrosity from Doom or Wolfenstein and is titular Sawhawk is right echoed in Mad Max's Scrotus. I had fun breaking up his fleshy bits with Blood for the Blood-god technical paint splattered on with a stippling brush.

I just wanted to include a few work-in-progress shots to try to show him in a bit more detail, and to give a bit of reference as to the scale of him against my ginormous-looking (but actually normal-sized) fingers.

I should give a shout-out to Secret Weapon miniatures, from whom I got the awesome bases. My final plan is to do both Lynch’s crew and Leviticus’ crew with these bases, but add a bit of snow to the Lynch bases and some autumnal leaves to the Leviticus bases. I think it’ll tie them together nicely while still giving each an individual flare.

Thanks all, see you next week on The Art of Caesura

The Full Stop - Trench Crusade

The skies shall darken, the ground shall open up and the screams of the damned shall echo through the ages. - Novae Revelationes 99:24, Trench Crusade Greetings friends of the Caesura, and welcome back to your Friday dose of The Art of Caesura! I hope you are well, and I'm sending loads of positive vibes your way, especially if you need them today (and you will after reading of the awesome Grimdark horrors ahead). Last week we left off looking at my plans and aspirations for Hive Fleet Klendathu, and today I had planned to show you the test model that I have painted for this Starship Troopers-inspired Tyranid force. However, something cool is afoot, and it's kind of time-sensitive... That's right - there's a Kickstarter (which has now raised over 2 million dollars!) for a very Grimdark miniatures skirmish game and it is due to end on Tuesday, so I decided to reschedule things on the blog a little to draw your attention to this before you miss your chance. I am talki...

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 litt...

"Recitation of Faith" - Terminator Chaplain Conversion - Part 1

Chaplains rouse Space Marines to war with their litanies of faith, and never is this spiritual fortification more vital than amidst the blood and horror of boarding actions and beachhead strikes. - Games Workshop Hello all! Welcome to your weekly dose of The Art of Caesura! As usual, I'm sending you lots of positive vibes, especially if you need them today. After almost half a year of Hellboy content on the blog, it's time to return to my beloved Black Templars. I have actually been working away in the background over the past few months, polishing off a few high-profile projects for my Templars. The first of which I will begin to reveal today! Today is the first part of a kit-bash that I'm pretty proud of. We're going to be looking at it in detail over the next few weeks and today we'll look at the build. For those unfamiliar with Black Templars, they are inspired by crusading knights and are really not fans of psychic folks (the whole "burn the witch...
