Hello all and welcome back to The Art of Caesura!

Well, the eagle-eyed amongst you may have noticed that the miniature that I used as my example in last week's photography post hasn't yet formally appeared on the blog...until now!

I got Nightvault as a birthday present to myself at the end of November, and have really been getting into the game - reading the rules, watching battle reports, reading blogs, building decks and listening to podcasts - but I hadn't bloomin' put paint to plastic! Until I did.

I've actually really enjoyed painting the few Stormcast Eternals that I have done so far: the Knight Questor for Silver Tower, The Free Liberator, and The Free Knight-Incantor. Having already painted the Knight-Incantor, I had my colour-scheme for these three sorted!

Recipe:
Armour: Screaming Bell, Agrax, Hashut Copper
Blue Robes: Stegadon Scale Green, Nuln Oil, Sotek Green, Lothern Blue
Cream Robes: Ushabti Bone, Agrax, Ushabti Bone, White Scar
Crests / Weapon Grips: Screamer Pink, Druchii Violet, Nuln Oil, Screamer Pink mixed with Ushabti Bone.

The bases were fun, especially Stormsire himself. I liked painting the smashed vials with the essence splashed against the rocks. It was only when I was painting mine that I noticed on the box art they made a goof and painted them like bits of the stone.

I painted the "leaking soul fluid" very simply by stippling some White Scar on the base and then covering it with Soulstone Blue.

I did the leaves 4 different colours across the models. I used base colours of: Mephiston Red, Yriel Yellow, Skrag Brown and an orange mixed from Yriel Yellow and Evil Sunz Scarlet. I mixed all the colours with Steel Legion Drab to make them more...drab - so that they wouldn't detract from the models.

And that's my first Warhammer Underworlds warband complete! I'm excited to paint a few more so that I can get some games in, but first I better finish The World of Smog: On Her Majesty's Service - a project 3 years in the making!

Let me know if you have any Warhammer Underworlds resources / blogs / channels that you follow and I'll see you next week right here on The Art of Caesura!

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.

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
