"Here's a Clue" - Hellboy Clue Tokens I

And the last clue...will be left by the late Professor Broom... ~ Hellboy Script Well hello people of the Caesura-verse! Welcome to another Friday on The Art of Caesura! Thanks again to everyone who has linked or commented on my detailed breakdown of the new Contrast Paints as I said before, the response from the community has been really exciting! Since I wrote that article, much more information has come to light regarding the new paint, so it will be really fun to see what everyone thinks of it when we all have it in our hands on June 15th.  Now, back to the pre-Contrast world! Today we're looking at half of the "Clue Markers" from Hellboy: The Board Game! In the game, as in the comics, the agents spend the first half of the mission creeping around, bopping frog-monsters / Nazis and investigating clues to give them an edge when it comes to the big boss fight at the end. What represents the clues they are investigating, you ask? Well lean in closer...

"Insights of Doom" - Impending Doom and Information Gathered Tokens

Hail Glorious Readers! Welcome back to The Art of Caesura! What an exciting past two weeks it has been, with my deep dive into Citadel's new Contrast Paints , and then taking a look at the rest of my time at Warhammer Fest 2019 ! This week we're heading back to where we left off with Hellboy: The Board Game. What is typically the un-sexiest part of a miniature board game? The tokens!

Even though Big Red might be sitting one out to make room for other agents, someone will still be investigating and doom will still be impending! Speaking of impending doom, in Hellboy: The Board Game (H:TBG) the end of every turn is marked by "The Doom Phase" which, among other mischief, often involves moving the Impending Doom Marker along its track towards an (often gruesome) end for the heroes.

"The Rest of the Fest" - Warhammer Fest 2019

Hello one and all and welcome back to The Art of Caesura! I just want to start by saying a huge THANK YOU to everyone who checked out my   bonus post last weekend about the new Citadel Contrast Paints. My goal was to make something that would be helpful for people and so I was thrilled that it got shared around so much.  After only posting it on The Grand Alliance and a Bell of Lost Souls comment section, I was humbled to see it shared on: Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, The Bolter & Chainsword , a French forum called Warhammer Forum , and Dakka Dakka !  So a hearty thank you to everyone who helped spread the word and to the community as a whole for all the interesting conversations! Now, onward! Today I want to show you a few pics of the rest of my time at Warhammer Fest last weekend (what a whopping blast that was!!). I don't really think there's any point in my trying to give a play-by-play of everything that was there, because GW have already done a great jo
