"Fire and Brimstone" - Brimstone Horrors

Savage little sprites formed from living fire, 
these diminuitive Daemons leap and crackle 
as they worry at their enemies' shins and 
set fire to their battle-garb

White Dwarf


Hey all! Thanks for joining me for The Art of Caesura!

 I hope you all had a great week! I had the week off and it's been bliss! Not a whole ton of time for painting, but I did get a few little fiery dudes done. I love these little guys model-wise and in the game. In the game it's fun having the Blue Horrors explode into these little guys who look super angry and evil for their stature. Small man complex. 

Warhammer Quest: Silver Tower

 These guys were actually pretty quick to get going. I looked at a few things for inspiration including a video Kris (from miniwargaming.com) and just rolled with it.

 The fun part of painting the Brimstone Horrors was that painting fire is kind of the opposite of painting other things. Where I would usually start with a dark colour in the crevices for shadow and work my way up to highlights (or start at a mid-tone and shade and highlight) with these guys, their outermost surfaces were the darkest (through liberal use of Gryphonne Sepia mixed through to Nuln Oil) while their inner nooks were the hottest.

Although it is hard to tell from the picture, I did their eyes and depths of their mouths pure white.

I hope you like them and that you guys are enjoying Silver Tower! My fiance and I have completed the first two challenges with much revelry and mirth and wine and beer and all that good stuff!

Thanks for heading back to The Art of Caesura!

    These brimstone horrors look amazing as well. Would you mind sharing what colours you have used?

      Thanks again John, they're fun little buggers for sure! I started with Yriel Yellow, then gave them an all-over wash of 1:2 Gryphonne Sepia and Lahmian Medium (I'd say the closest would be Seraphim Sepia now) then on their outter flames I gave a 1:1 mix (Gryphonne and Lahmian) then straight Gryphonne then diluted Nuln Oil and then pure Nuln Oil as you get further and further out.

      Then I painted the middle bit (around the face) Yriel Yellow again and added more and more White Scar closer and closer to the middle until their eyes and mouths were pure white.

      I hope that helps! If you've any other questions, feel free to ask!

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.

"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!!

"From the City of Shadows" - Arkanaut Company (Painting - Part 1)

The City of Shadows has a dubious reputation  amongst the Overlords, often labelled pirates  or worse by other duardin of their rival sky-ports. Barak Mhornar - Games Workshop Welcome back to another Friday on The Art of Caesura! Let's pick it up from last week and dive right back in to the Arkanauts. Last time we saw them they were all grey and naked. No longer!! This is going to be part one of a two-parter on the painting of these guys before we look their bases and then at the finished Company in the following weeks. I was going to try to cram it all into one post, but wow there is a lot of detail on these guys, and we're in no hurry, so best to spread it out and give it all it's due.  Barak Zilfin Colour Scheme When the Kharadron Overlords first came out I was looking at all the colour schemes and thinking "man, Barak Zilfin all the way!  I mean look at all that copper!" But over the year, my tastes have...matured and I came to really
