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 little

"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!
