"All Together Now" - The World of Smog: On Her Majesty's Service

1889. THE MECHANICAL AND MAGICAL EMPIRE
OF QUEEN VICTORIA RULES THE WORLD.

-CMoN

Welcome welcome welcome to a monumental post on The Art of Caesura!!

On Her Majesty's Service

Today is a big day for two reasons: it is my last post in our current house (where we've lived for the last two years) and also because it marks the completion of the entire box set of The World of Smog: On Her Majesty's Service!

The very first miniature I painted on this blog (way back in January 2016) was from this game. I have absolutely adored painting these busts. Whenever I approached a hobby rut, or was looking to get back into things after a few weeks off - these were always the go-to models. The larger scale provided a different style of painting, I found them a bit quicker to paint than a full-body miniature, but no less satisfying in their character and detail. 

On Her Majesty's Service

A lady with a flame-thrower, a mechanical Beefeater, a double-amputee with steam-powered prosthetic legs, not to mention an anthropomorphic fox, gas-masked medium and Queen Victoria look-alike with a Gatling Gun. Need I say more?

On Her Majesty's Service

Above and below we have the Gentlemen (a gender-neutral term for the "good guys" in this game) of the Unicorn Club. You can see that I was using my "Hashut Copper" recipe for Colonel Steel's bust as opposed to the "Screaming Bell" paint for the others.

And below we have the Shadow Master's motley crew, with the man himself front and (relatively) centre. It's always nice digging out models that I painted years ago and setting them beside my more recent attempts.

If you want to have a more detailed look at any of these models there is a specific post for each and every of them! There are too many to link here, but you can find them by perusing the archive to the top right or bunging in a descriptive term (like "creepy clown" or "foxy") into the search bar above. Have a gander! 

And, dear readers, if you've enjoyed the creepy alternate-Victorian horror steam punk world of The World of Smog: On Her Majesty's Service, that's great! If you're sad that it's over...don't be! I have the second game in the series (The World of Smog: Rise of Moloch) and have only painted a few of the models from that set so far - so there will be plenty more smog in our futures!

'Till next week on The Art of Caesura.

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...
