"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. 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 (
