"Perilous Woods" - Oathsworn Trees

"Perilous Woods" - Oathsworn Trees - Part 2

‘Tis said that when

The hands of men

Tamed this primeval wood,

And hoary trees with groans of woe,

Like warriors by an unknown foe,

Were in their strength subdued...

The Forest Reverie - Edgar Allen Poe

Here we are again, another Friday on The Art of Caesura!

Sending many positive vibes in your direction, especially if you need them today!

Today is a continuation of last week's post wherein we looked at painting the titular Deepwood from the board game Oathsworn: into the Deepwood. Today we're looking at the Deepwood unprepossessing!

I mentioned last week that, in the world of Oathsworn, the forest itself is a constant presence and threat.

While there was an option to buy this game without miniature of the trees, I really think they add so much to the atmosphere!

I mentioned that I was initially unhappy with how the trees turned out, but after having gone back and added more details (the vines, glowing tumours and moss) I'm now thrilled with how they look!

In future posts you will see how they scale with the other miniatures on the board (which is to say that they are appropriately HUGE!)

I actually also think these would look awesome on a Warhammer 40k board!

Let me know what you think of The Deepwood in the comments section below! I'll see you back here next Friday 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!!

"From the City of Shadows" - Arkanaut Company (Painting - Part 1)

The City of Shadows has a dubious reputation amongst the Overlords, often labelled pirates or worse by other duardin of their rival sky-ports. Barak Mhornar - Games Workshop Welcome back to another Friday on The Art of Caesura! Let's pick it up from last week and dive right back in to the Arkanauts. Last time we saw them they were all grey and naked. No longer!! This is going to be part one of a two-parter on the painting of these guys before we look their bases and then at the finished Company in the following weeks. I was going to try to cram it all into one post, but wow there is a lot of detail on these guys, and we're in no hurry, so best to spread it out and give it all it's due. Barak Zilfin Colour Scheme When the Kharadron Overlords first came out I was looking at all the colour schemes and thinking "man, Barak Zilfin all the way! I mean look at all that copper!" But over the year, my tastes have...matured and I came to really
