"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 - 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 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...
