Happy Birthday to Me!


Well hello there, fancy seeing you here for another Friday on The Art of Caesura!

Today it's a short one to celebrate something that I've never celebrated on the blog before: My Birthday!

I annually (duh!) celebrate the blog's birthday (only a couple of months until its 6th birthday!) and I have recently started celebrating my daughters' birthdays on the blog, but I have never celebrated my own. 

The reason for this is because I have wanted to keep the content hobby-oriented, but the more hobby-related media I consume, the more I realize that what attracts me (and likely others) to content is getting to know the person behind the content. 

I can think of a bunch of podcasts that I listen to more for the banter of the hosts than for what they're talking about (Trapped Under Plastic, Legends of the Painty Men, The 2 Ps Podcast) and a blog that is a good example of this is Another Wargaming Blog where his witty tone and personal asides only add to his posts. 

So this year I decided to mark my birthday on the blog and perhaps bring more of myself to future posts. 

Happy belated 35th birthday to me!


Reading: Black Templars Codex
Listening: Olafur Arnalds

Maximum effort...

    Happy B-day to ya... It's good to mark the day. I was just swinging thru the interweb neighborhood and noticed this post; coincidentally, I'll be olding tomorrow.

      Thanks Zerbads and a belated happy birthday to you! I hope you had a great birthday yesterday! Have you had a chance to "Grimdarkify" that army yet? I'd love to hear about it.

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...

"Righteous Crusaders" - New Black Templars Stuff and Strategies

 "Accept any challenge no matter the odds!" Black Templars Codex Hello and welcome back to The Art of Caesura! I'm sending loads of positivity your way, especially if you need it today! Today we're changing gears a bit. I had meant for this post to come out last week, but that was before I had realized that I had neglected the poor Emberling .  So a few weeks ago now at this point, my beloved Black Templars (the army that I have played since 3rd edition of Warhammer 40k - which is now in its 10th edition!) received a revamp! New codex (which brought all new rules, new points, new style of play), new models, new dice, new Combat Patrol .  For someone like me, who historically has only got a game in every 6 months or so (that's about to change - tune back in next week!) and who has many (MANY) other hobby interests, the new rules are very exciting but also met with some trepidation of investing the time to relearn everything.  Well, I have started investing the time...
