"Plaguey Duder" - Lord of Blights

"Plaguey Duder" - Lord of Blights - Complete

A Lord of Blights is a brutish figure

who creates and destroys in equal measure.

Swollen with muscle, he lumbers into the midst

of the foe swinging his bubotic hammer in thunderous arcs.

Every impact shatters bone and ruptures organs,

leaving his victims lying like bruised and rotten fruit on the ground.

Hello one and all and welcome back to The Art of Caesura!

I hope you're looking forward to a great weekend. Let's get it off to a good start by admiring the culmination of the past few weeks efforts: the Lord of Blights in all his festering glory.

If you're just joining us, this is the model that I started at Marco Frisoni's workshop a few weeks ago. We have seen the value sketch and then moved on to the colours last week.

To say that I'm happy with how this guy turned out would be an understatement. As I mentioned above, I have already waxed lyrical about the painting process of this guy for a few weeks now, so let's just sit back and let the Lord of Blights speak for himself.

So there we have him! The best model that I have ever painted (to date!) I hope that you've enjoyed following along with this guy. I'm excited to incorporate learnings from this model into future painting endeavours.

I'll see you right here next week on 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.

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...

"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!!
