"Echoing Terror" - Oathsworn Chapter 3 - Wyrm - Part 2

The most terrifying thing about the

craw wurm is probably the horrible

crashing sound it makes as it speeds

through the forest. This noise is so loud

it echoes through the trees and seems

to come from all directions at once.

Welcome back to a particularly unsettling post on The Art of Caesura!

Before we begin, I hope you had a great week and are pumped for the weekend. I'm sending positive thoughts, especially if you need them today!

***Note on Spoilers: This model is one of the poster-boys of Oathsworn. It has been used in promotional content for the game prior to release. It is one of the few bosses NOT considered to be a spoiler (along with the Broodmother, and a few others).

Last week we looked at how I painted the boss from chapter 3 of Oathsworn: into the Deepwood - the giant wyrm! This week we're going to let it flourish in its natural environment of darkness.

Sometimes, no matter what I try, minis don't translate well to photo. Other times the dramatic moodiness of the photo makes them look even better than they do under neutral light. This time is the latter!

I love how the wyrm is appearing out of the darkness!

I know it might be difficult to get a sense of scale - I will try to remember to take some photos of the board with the hero minis for contrast when my wife and I get around to playing this encounter - but this "mini" is HUGE. It had to be to earn the privileged position of "biggest mini of the year" for the blog's recent birthday.

And that's the wyrm!

I am loving these Oathsworn bosses! More to come 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 (
