"Large and in Charge" - Blood Bowl Ogre

"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...

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 - 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 (
