"Golden Templar" - Knight-Questor

"Forged by the god-king Sigmar into living weapons

against the power of Chaos, some of these soldiers of the heavens

are notable even amongst their shining brethren for their heroic deeds -

these champions become known as a Knight-Questor."

Greetings all and sundry and welcome back to The Art of Caesura!

It's been over a month since we last looked at Warhammer Quest: Silver Tower. I'd like to return there today.

So, you may recall the first proper Age of Sigmar dude I painted a few weeks ago: The Liberator. At the time I talked about how I enjoyed painting him in more bronze tones than gold, with a heavy dose of weathering.

This week we're looking at his cousin (and the first Hero from Silver Tower that I've painted): The Knight-Questor.

I tried to paint his armor in the same fashion as the Liberator and used the same blue-green for the shoulder pads and cloak, but tried to use softer highlights on the cloak to emphasize their different materials.

Most prominently I did a little head swap that I think really enhances the model. I have never been a huge fan of the stormcast heads so I stole the head from my old Black Templar upgrade sprue for Warhammer 40K and cut off all the "technology bits." This left me with a pretty cool looking helmet. When you compare the size of the actual Questor head, this Black Templar one is way bigger, but I think the scale works on this mini with his already exaggerated pauldrons.

I grounded him with a bit of weathering and the old "Scar" scar over one eye.

My fiance and I are currently playing through Silver Tower with the Mistweaver and Darkoath Chieftain, but next go-round maybe we'll give this Golden Templar a shot!

Thanks for checking out another week of 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.

"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!

"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
