Any Excuse for a Celebration...


"A caesura, 
also written cesura,
is a complete pause - "

Oxford English Dictionary


Happy Canada Day you hosers and welcome back to The Art of Caesura eh?!

I hope that you've all had great weeks and that you're all guzzling maple syrup! Excitingly, I'm getting married almost exactly a year from now but unexcitingly (though unsurprisingly) the weather in Ireland right now is crap - so hopefully it's better next year!

In other exciting news The Art of Caesura is half a year old! If this blog were a human he would have doubled his birth-weight, be able to sit up unsupported (like a champ), do that cute baby babble and he'd just be starting to get a bit of stranger anxiety. I know it may not sound like much, but lest we forget: he'd also be cute as hell!
I do not own this picture (or baby)
Likewise, 6 months of blogging may not sound like much but I'm going to pat myself on the back anyway for maintaining an entry every single week even with a super busy personal and professional life. 

I started this blog not really knowing where it would go, but knowing that it would be a nice weekly break in a happy, busy life. 

So to honour the half anniversary of The Art of Caesura I even created an infographic (because who wants words when you can have pictures with words in them!?)



Anyway, thanks so much for being a part of the past 6 months of The Art of Caesura! Looking forward to many more to come!

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 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 - 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...
