Hammer Time!

Throughout the mortal realms the legends of the Silver Tower are recounted with awe and admiration. Tales of disparate champions good and evil, brought together by naught more than fate, battling against sanity-shredding horrors in the ever-shifting domain of the Gaunt Summoner of Tzeentch.

Hey all, welcome to another week of The Art of Caesura!

How has your week been? Mine’s been a bit hectic, but I kind of managed to enter one of those zen states and got ‘er all done!

A surprising week in terms of Art of Caesura content…with a view to retaining my street cred, I’m surprised to admit that I’m getting really excited by Games Workshop products (and licenses) this week.

I was totally sold when I saw Warhammer Quest: Silver Tower. Not only are the minis looking great, but the old game sounded super fun. I’ve been really enjoying Ash’s homemade version, Realm Quest for the past few months. And so was delighted to see that this was coming back and, if you believe the rumours, going to become a big deal.

Silver Tower

Suffice to say I pre-ordered a copy through Wayland Games. Pretty excited about this, and the potential that they might release rules for old heroes via the app (though they’ve only specifically said that they’ll support Age of Sigmar plastics. (I’ve still secretly got my fingers crossed for my fav. all-time hero: Grimgore Ironhide, though given the events of The End Times, this is pretty unlikely. Maybe we’ll at least see Wurrzag).

In other news, I’ve been following Total War Warhammer for ages now. Only getting more and more excited by everything that’s been released. Reviews are looking pretty favourable (8.5 – 9/10 depending where you look). So yeah…I’ve got that pre-ordered too. I know everyone’s been saying it, but man, look how awesome the old world was.


I feel like I should round out this quick fan-boy post with a group shot of some of my old Warhammer Orcs. I’ve still got a bunch of the old boys (boyz) to paint so don’t be surprised if you see them popping up again.

Okay gang, thanks for joining me in my nerd-gasms. See you next week!

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 litt...

"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 fo...
