"Large and in Charge" - Blood Bowl Ogre - Part II

Ogre teams have existed since 
the forming of the NAF and have even had 
some success such as winning the XV Blood Bowl. 
However, as any right-minded person will tell you, 
having more than one Ogre in the same place 
at the same time is a disaster in the making...

- Blood Bowl Tactics


Welcome back sports fans to another gripping Blood Bowl post on The Art of Caesura!

The Blood Bowl content has been coming hard and fast over the past few weeks. Last week I went in to much more detail than intended on painting faces in general and specifically the big lumpen mug of this guy, the Blood Bowl Ogre!


In addition to his face, I also went into the whole rest of the painting process of this guy so you can check that out here. The painting process of the rest of my human team is right over here, and their showcase is here.


Today we'll let the photos be the thousand words they are, but if you have any questions at all, just leave them in the comments section below. 
 




I've been threatening to go into extreme detail on the decal (transfer) process, and that will be coming up next week.


 

Speaking of decals, you can see the standard ones that I included on the rest of my human team above, and then the unique griffon head on his bashing fist below. Nice and scuffed. 


As I detailed last week, I had fun playing around with the textures that different varnishes offered between matte skin, satin leather and glossy armour. I will talk more about varnishing when I discuss decals next week.  


Below is the big guy with his little buddies. I took the photos below after going back to paint all the line-markings on the bases.





I had some fun with these next pictures. The next one gives me a migraine, but it feels like it could be on the cover of Spike! magazine...from SPACE!


I have really loved painting my first Blood Bowl team and I hope you have enjoyed following along with the progress. 


Stay safe and tune in next week to 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...
