"Pleasing the Architect of Fate" - Tzaangors II

A cruel streak resides within the soul of every Tzaangor, 
and their artistic pretensions are often set aside 
in favour of sheer, shocking brutality. 



Hello fellow Caesurians, welcome back to The Art of Caesura!

Today's topic is a follow on from a few weeks ago when we were looking at Warhammer Quest: Silver Tower's denizens, the Tzaangors. I originally intended to post these the next week, but there was much intervening excitement: The blog's second birthday, The Great Unclean One, and the first hiking post.

I went through my thoughts behind painting these guys in the first post about them a couple of weeks ago, but if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask!

I really like the subtle differences in each of these models. The guys holding the 2-handed axe (that I posted previously) have feather-like pinions, hooves and large pauldrons with a more closed posture giving them a more tanky lumbering look. Whereas the Tzaangors above (with shields) have more of a beastman look with their manes, but avian feet.

And then there are the Tzaangors with the two hand weapons who really know how to dice up our heroes (my wife's Mistweaver, and my Darkoath Chieftain). They have crazy tentacle heads which I painted the same as my blue horrors (i.e. getting darker towards the tips of the tentacles).

And there's the big happy family of beastly avian abominations; ready for another sortie in the Silver Tower! Catch you next time on The Art of Caesura!

P.S. This last week, two games that I backed on Kickstarter arrived: The World of Smog Rise of Moloch and Zombicide Green Horde!! You can expect to see a lot of content from these in the coming months!

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...

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...

"Recitation of Faith" - Terminator Chaplain Conversion - Part 1

Chaplains rouse Space Marines to war  with their litanies of faith,  and never is this spiritual fortification more vital  than amidst the blood and horror of boarding actions  and beachhead strikes. - Games Workshop Hello all! Welcome to your weekly dose of The Art of Caesura! As usual, I'm sending you lots of positive vibes, especially if you need them today. After almost half a year of Hellboy content on the blog, it's time to return to my beloved Black Templars. I have actually been working away in the background over the past few months, polishing off a few high-profile projects for my Templars. The first of which I will begin to reveal today! Today is the first part of a kit-bash that I'm pretty proud of. We're going to be looking at it in detail over the next few weeks and today we'll look at the build.  For those unfamiliar with Black Templars, they are inspired by crusading knights and are really not fans of psychic folks (the whole "burn the witch...
