"Furthering the Flock" - Escher Gang II

House Escher is unique among the great Houses

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...

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

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.

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:

Next we have Trixy:

And the last model for today is Merlina:

Like I said, I hope you're enjoying our look at The Unkindness, I've got something special planned for the gang next week...

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. Welcome to The Art of Caesura! What's all this then, TWO posts in one day!? Well yes, you see timing is of the essence here. Today marks the 200th post of The Art of Caesura , so if you haven't had a chance to check out the celebratory post, please do so ! There is also a Kickstarter ongoing at the moment, that I am getting quite excited by, but it closes on Tuesday, so if I left it till next Friday to tell you about it...it would be too late! Hence, in a world first, two hits of The Art of Caesura in one day! Now onward, into the world of Oathsworn: Into the Deepwood !

"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

Warhammer 40k for Beginners - Writing an Army List

Hello again good friends of the Caesura! I am glad to report that I am feeling much better than last week, recovered from most of my COVID symptoms. Continuing from last week's post , I'm ready to tell you more about the lists that JP and I took for my first game of Warhammer 40k in over a decade and a half. I have tried to write this post for those who know very little about playing Warhammer 40k (which was me when I started preparing for this game). So, I knew that I wanted to keep things straightforward for my first game and that we were playing to 500 points. For those non-warhammerites, this is basically the smallest game you can play - less moving parts to keep track of. Here is my list again, but this time I will discuss what it all means, and my thought process behind each choice: + Stratagems [-1CP] + Stratagem: Revered Repositories [-1CP] This just means that before the game I used one of my finite resources ("Command Points") to buy a very fancy weapon (
