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!

      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 - 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 (
