Faramir - The Two Towers - J.R.R. Tolkien

What better way to bring in the weekend than with The Art of Caesura!?

Firstly, I'd like to say a big "Happy Birthday!!" to my fiance! More than put up with my nerdisms - she encourages them! I'm a lucky man.

Well friends, I have bit of a randomer for you this week. Starting next week, I want to launch into a few weeks sticking to one topic (like we did with The World of Smog full-body miniatures back in February and March this year). Before we do that, I want to cram this guy in here that I just completed!

Like those of the last couple weeks, this guy is one who recently emerged from an old box of my models that my parents found back in the old family home. Exciting when that happens!

He's the younger brother of Boromir from The Lord of the Rings: Faramir!

I know I didn't do his colours "right" (as in the colour scheme from the movies) but I felt like giving him more of a "Templar" look with the black and red robes.

It was a blast just to bust out a quick model while I was waiting for washes on the wyvern and it's base to dry.

Here's a close up of his face - I was happy with how it turned out. I used the Scale 75 flesh tones and spent a good deal of time trying to get his eyes and beard right. I did the ol' paint his eye sockets black and then dot either side with white to make them lest "stary". Let me know what you think in the comments section below.

That's it for this week, people of the world, on The Art of Caesura!

Watching: Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2

Further adventures in the Silver Tower...

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 ! Credit: Shadowborne Games Nota bene : I am not associated with Shadowborne Games, and am just writing this because it is something that I am genuinely excited about. None of the

"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 (
