"He's Got a Gun" - Monkey with a Gun

Hellboy The Board Game

Welcome back to The Art of Caesura!

After introducing you to Hellboy: The Board Game last week, this week we're taking a look at the first model I've painted for it: Monkey with a Gun!


Hellboy The Board Game

This little guy may only play a small part in the story of Hellboy (in "Box Full of Evil" to be precise) but he sure is a fun, wacky mini. 

Hellboy The Board Game

Wanting to get through these Hellboy minis faster than I did The World of Smog, I kept the painting of this guy pretty straight forward. 

Hellboy The Board Game

From a black undercoat, I painted his face, hands and feet Steel Legion Drab, his gun Leadbelcher, the gun handle Skrag Brown, and the rest of him Abaddon Black.

From there I coated the whole dude in Nuln Oil. I then spent the majority of my time on his face. I mixed Scale 75's Basic Flesh in with Steel Legion Drab for the highlights, until we were dealing with pure Basic Flesh. His tongue is Scale 75's African Shadow, highlighted with Indian Shadow. The teeth are Ushabti Bone, with Seraphim Sepia and then more Ushabti Bone with increasing amounts of white added. 

The rest of his fur was just dry brushed with a very small amount of Steel Legion Drab, with a touch of Ushabti Bone mixed in on his knees, shoulders and other prominent areas.

After highlighting the gun with Runefang Steel, I picked his eyes out with white and then Evil Sunz Scarlet, and the little blighter was done!

That was just a quick look at my first mini from H:TBG, there will be plenty more to come right here 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...

"Recitation of Faith" - Terminator Chaplain Conversion - Part 1

Chaplains rouse Space Marines to war  with their litanies of faith,  and never is this spiritual fortification more vital  than amidst the blood and horror of boarding actions  and beachhead strikes. - Games Workshop Hello all! Welcome to your weekly dose of The Art of Caesura! As usual, I'm sending you lots of positive vibes, especially if you need them today. After almost half a year of Hellboy content on the blog, it's time to return to my beloved Black Templars. I have actually been working away in the background over the past few months, polishing off a few high-profile projects for my Templars. The first of which I will begin to reveal today! Today is the first part of a kit-bash that I'm pretty proud of. We're going to be looking at it in detail over the next few weeks and today we'll look at the build.  For those unfamiliar with Black Templars, they are inspired by crusading knights and are really not fans of psychic folks (the whole "burn the witch...
