"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 - 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 !

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
