"Pretty in Pink" - Pink Horrors

The casting of spells fills Pink Horrors with increased joy,

and they emit especially high-pitched merriment as

the eldritch energy screeches from their upraised hands.

When wounded, a Pink Horror exhales a final lunatic cackle

before rapidly decomposing into an ectoplasmic blob of

gyrating magic. With a characteristic whoop of satisfaction,

this residue swiftly alters colour and divides into two Blue Horrors.

Hey all! Welcome back to another Friday on The Art of Caesura!

This week brings the merry big sibling of the grumpy Blue Horrors that I painted a couple of months ago. For those of you who have been following this blog for a while, you'll know that I kind of like things dark and eerie - if not in colour than in tone.

The Pink Horrors of Tzeentch don't typically fit the whole "dark and eerie" vibe, but regardless I decided to darken my palate a little and I ended up having a lot of fun with these nutters.

I wanted to tie this guy to the other horrors that he explodes into when you killl him in Warhammer. I painted his tongue the same way as the Blue Horror flesh, and painted the fire coming out of his tube-fingers and around his left foot in the same way as my little Brimstone Horrors.

I must admit to being slightly uninspired when I painted the duplicate model of this guy. To differentiate them slightly, I alternated all their metal bits: all the bits that are silver on one are copper on the other and vice versa. One of them has dark purple feathers whilst the other: dark blue.

So...that now means that I've finished all the horrors in the Silver Tower box-set! Time for a family photo:

Well, there you have it folks! Till next time on The Art of Caesura!

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 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 for ov

Warhammer 40k for Beginners - Writing an Army List

Hello again good friends of the Caesura! I am glad to report that I am feeling much better than last week, recovered from most of my COVID symptoms. Continuing from last week's post , I'm ready to tell you more about the lists that JP and I took for my first game of Warhammer 40k in over a decade and a half. I have tried to write this post for those who know very little about playing Warhammer 40k (which was me when I started preparing for this game). So, I knew that I wanted to keep things straightforward for my first game and that we were playing to 500 points. For those non-warhammerites, this is basically the smallest game you can play - less moving parts to keep track of. Here is my list again, but this time I will discuss what it all means, and my thought process behind each choice: + Stratagems [-1CP] + Stratagem: Revered Repositories [-1CP] This just means that before the game I used one of my finite resources ("Command Points") to buy a very fancy weapon (
