"Chanters of Change" - Kairic Acolytes

Marked by the Changer of Ways

for their cunning and devotion,

these warrior cultists fight with

blade, sorcery and terrifying zeal.

It's Friday! Time for The Art of Caesura!

This week's offering is one that I have actually been working on over the past two weeks, but rather than show you a work in progress shot last week, I decided to just lay 'em all on you at once this week. Unleash the Kairic Acolytes!

This is going to be a photo-intensive post this week because each of these models is actually quite an individual. The detailed musculature on these models is some of the best I've seen, and I really think the matte finish of the Scale 75 Flesh paints did the skin tones justice.

Please click on the images to see them in all their High-def glory!

I kept the skin fairly pale, avoiding ruddy skin tones that might hint at a bit too much cheery vitality!

I'm also still getting used to the new (for me) gem paints. I don't really think it looks like a gem, but I like the mystical effect none-the-less.

For most of the other Acolytes I used diluted blue ink on their white loincloth, but for their boss I added a bit of purple as well to really amp up the "mystical" vibe.

They did a great job with the poses of these models; from the dynamic running guy to the static and dominant pose of the Adept.

Thanks as always for checking out my blog. I'll see you next week 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.

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! 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
