"Furthering the Flock" - Escher Gang II

House Escher is unique among the great Houses
 of Necromunda, for its gangs are made up 
entirely of women.

 Welcome back to another Friday on The Art of Caesura!

 Two weeks ago I introduced you to a couple gangers from my first Necromunda gang: The Unkindness. Last week we looked at their bases, and now I've got a few more lovely gang ladies to show you...
Necromunda

 I mentioned the other week that I wanted to have a lot of variety of in terms of race and armour colour, but at the time had only painted the Caucasian models, so I couldn't really demonstrate what I was talking about. Today I can!

 Lets launch straight in to my skin recipes:
African Skin: 
Base coat: Doombull Brown. 
Then I paint another base coat of Scale 75's African Shadow over the Doombull Brown. I then wash with Nuln Oil and then highlight with African Shadow with more and more of Scale 75's Pale Skin.

I really like the plum tones in Scale 75's African Shadow. 

Next is my super light skin recipe:

Pale Skin: 
Base coat: Cadian Fleshtone. 
Scale 75's Pale Skin > wash with 1:3 Reikland Fleshshade: Lahmian Medium > highlight with Pale Skin

Necromunda

I painted her lens twice. For the first attempt (on the left) I painted the lens-flair way too big, and didn't have as much contrast as I wanted, so once I'd finished, I started over.

Next my recipe for Asian skin:
Base coat: Cadian fleshtone, then undercoat again with Golden Skin, wash with 1:4 seraphim sepia + lahmian medium and re-highlight with Golden Skin with more and more Pale Skin added. 

Necromunda

Finally, my recipe for the Caucasian skin of the gangers that I showed off two weeks ago. 

Base coat: Cadian fleshtone, re-under coat Scale 75's Basic flesh, wash with 1:4 Reikland Fleshshade + lahmian medium, highlight with basic flesh, and then 50:50 basic flesh + Light Skin

I hope you like the skin tones so far, lets get some snazzy looks at three more gangers this week. Just a note, I'm using a new camera from this week - which is technically much better than my old one, but clearly I need to work on the depth of field as some of the photos are a bit blurry. Sorry about that. As always, you can click on the photo for a higher resolution version.

First up is Gripp:

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...
