"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 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 little

"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
