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 - 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...

"Righteous Crusaders" - New Black Templars Stuff and Strategies

 "Accept any challenge no matter the odds!" Black Templars Codex Hello and welcome back to The Art of Caesura! I'm sending loads of positivity your way, especially if you need it today! Today we're changing gears a bit. I had meant for this post to come out last week, but that was before I had realized that I had neglected the poor Emberling .  So a few weeks ago now at this point, my beloved Black Templars (the army that I have played since 3rd edition of Warhammer 40k - which is now in its 10th edition!) received a revamp! New codex (which brought all new rules, new points, new style of play), new models, new dice, new Combat Patrol .  For someone like me, who historically has only got a game in every 6 months or so (that's about to change - tune back in next week!) and who has many (MANY) other hobby interests, the new rules are very exciting but also met with some trepidation of investing the time to relearn everything.  Well, I have started investing the time...
