Happy Holidays!! Good riddance to 2020 and all that good stuff! It's that time of year again, time for some of the minis I've painted over the past year to make a reappearance to wish you all a very Happy Christmas! On Dasher on Dancer on...Zombie Donner Got some serious Krampus vibes going on here  Season's Greeting from the North Pole Santa's little helper Rudolf the twisted reindeer Definitely stay off the naughty list! One of my reasons for starting up this blog was to have a bit of an escape from the seriousness of the "real" world. A caesura is, after all, a break. It has been even more of a salve this year, and I hope it has provided a bit of an escape for you too! All the best wishes of the season and I'll see you next week on The Art of Caesura! Watching: Gremlins Next Week: 2021!

Masters of the guiding winds,  Aetheric Navigators are aero-cartographers,  atmospheric map-makers that help chart courses,  find currents and steer along perilous trade routes. - Games Workshop Yo ho Skyfarers and welcome back to another Friday on The Art of Caesura! We're deep into Kharadron Overlords at the moment; having spent a few weeks on my Skyriggers and then last week looking at the Endrinmaster, today we have the Navigator! Another iconic Kharadron Overlords model, the Navigator is brimming with detail! Like I said with last week's Endrinmaster, whenever a model has loads of details, it is important to really distill down your colour palette.  In addition to narrowing the metals down to only copper and steel (okay and a tiny bit of brass on his anemometer on his right shoulder), I also limited the amount that was painted with metalics - opting to paint as much of his armour as possible  blue .  By maximizing the amount of non-metalic blue I have on the model, not o

Endrinmasters are peerless combat mechanics,  well used to  conducting emergency repairs  in the white heat of battle. - Games Workshop Welcome one and all to The Art of Caesura! We've spent the past few weeks looking at my magnetized Endrinriggers / Skywardens , but today we'll be casting our (Grungni's) gaze over one of the senior members of the Endrineers Guild: The Endrinmaster with Endrinharness. I really like this guy! I know that in general the Steampunk aesthetic of the Kharadron Overlords can be divisive - especially in a Mythic-/Epic-/High- fantasy setting. So, with his manicured metal moustache-plate, oversized hammer, and portable forge (complete with anvil and chimney!) I could see him being a bit Marmite. Fortunately, as I said, I'm digging it! Pre-shade. Clearly I didn't learn from my sub-assembly hell with the Skyriggers (well actually through crazy-aether timey-wimeyness I actually painted this guy before them). Actually, for detailed minis with a &

The duardin have developed new technology  and weapons of war, and now they sail the skies in their amazing airships, seeking wealth and plunder. Overlords of the Iron Dragon - C.L. Werner Great to see you back on The Art of Caesura! And now, the moment we've all been waiting for(...well, I've been waiting for it anyway!): the unveiling of my Skyfarers!  I've been working away on these guys for the past few weeks and am really thrilled with how they turned out, so can't wait to share them with you! Two weeks ago, though it may not have been obvious at the time, I showed you how I made the bases of these guys . Last week we looked at painting and magnetization, and today we just get to gaze at the finished product! As I mentioned before, I magnetized the heads of all these guys so that they could be Endrinriggers or Skywardens. I also magnetized the arms of the "Sergeant" so that he too could be either...or both! I built this first guy with the grapnel-launc
