"A Dashing Dirigible" - Brokk Grungsson (Painting)

Brokk Grungsson is a powerful duardin,

and before his enemies die,

he wants them to know it...

Welcome one and all to The Art of Caesura!

This post is the first of a two-parter to build some hype for next week's post...oooh mysterious!

My wife kicked off my new Kharadron Overlords army by getting me a few key pieces last year, one of which was Brokk Grungsson the Lord-Magnate himself! I built him (in sub-assemblies) almost immediately, but waited on painting him until I had a few rank and file Arkanauts under my belt so that I could get used to the colour scheme.

I also wanted to be able to lavish loads of time on this guy, so I've been working away on him in the background. I actually finished him a while ago after a good month or so of highly HIGHLY enjoyable painting and have been dying to unveil him - now, before Christmas, seemed like a good time!

I only have a few pictures (of his dirigible) today, because I didn't want to spoiler him for the proper look next week. And a proper look we shall have...I think it's the most photos I've ever taken of a single model!

One more cryptic message before I go for today...I've already showcased his base on this blog...

Next week can't come soon enough, when I finally get to show you my rendition of this awesome model! See you then on The Art of Caesura!

Watching: The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (again) - And MAN, is it good!

Next Week:

Have I hyped it enough?

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...

"Righteous Crusaders" - New Black Templars Stuff and Strategies

"Accept any challenge no matter the odds!" Black Templars Codex Hello and welcome back to The Art of Caesura! I'm sending loads of positivity your way, especially if you need it today! Today we're changing gears a bit. I had meant for this post to come out last week, but that was before I had realized that I had neglected the poor Emberling . So a few weeks ago now at this point, my beloved Black Templars (the army that I have played since 3rd edition of Warhammer 40k - which is now in its 10th edition!) received a revamp! New codex (which brought all new rules, new points, new style of play), new models, new dice, new Combat Patrol . For someone like me, who historically has only got a game in every 6 months or so (that's about to change - tune back in next week!) and who has many (MANY) other hobby interests, the new rules are very exciting but also met with some trepidation of investing the time to relearn everything. Well, I have started investing the time...
