"Putting the 'Fan' in Fanatic" - Black Templars Merch.

We are the flame that leaps from the brazier's heart.

We are the inescapable blade of vengeance.

We are the oath-sworn and the unmerciful.

The heretic, the mutant the alien and the unbeliever -

we bring judgement to all.

We are the Black Templars, and in the name of

the holy God-Emperor

we bring death.

Welcome one and all to The Art of Caesura!

So, this is kind of a different post today. I was hoping to be able to share the climax of our Blackstone Fortress campaign (over two years in the making) but...well...we actually didn't get it finished yet, so we'll postpone that for another time.

Instead, I want to share with you how fanatical I am about my Black Templars. I am (very slowly) painting up a new primaris army after owning a somewhat sizeable army of Black Templars in 3rd edition. I have currently painted my Marshal and one Sword Brother (hey, you gotta start somewhere).

Buy anyway, being a rabid fan isn't just about collecting and painting miniatures - Ho NO! This is what I want to share with you today.

I just want to interject by saying that none of this is paid advertising (unfortunately) I'm just a fan who bought these things, and think you might like them too if your in to your Black Templars.

When the new Black Templars were released, I saw the Games Workshop dice and said "yes!" I mean look at them!

But then, what good are dice without somewhere to store them? Enter "ThePaintersGuild" on Etsy:

The demonstration of my zeal was almost complete. All that remained was the pièce de résistance:

I had never even heard of "Starforged" before, but apparently they do make legitimate Games Workshop merch.

A BLACK TEMPLARS RING!!!! HOW FRICKEN' AWESOME IS THIS!!??

The ring is stainless steel and the Maltese Cross is silver. Beaut.

It even has a Black Templars vow (which I reproduced at the top of this post) engraved on the inside.

I love it.

And the ring combined with the dice and dice bag ensure that I roll nothing but 6's!

Thanks for joining me for this week's Art of Caesura! I'll see you next week.

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!! I've been wanting to write my thoughts on Scale 75 's Flesh Paint Set fo...
