Rejoice in Faith! Here comes  the Unforgiving Chaplain -  not for absolution,  but for Punishment!  - Artel W Welcome back one and all! It's Friday, which means it's time for The Art of Caesura! As you read this, I will currently be at Warhammer Fest! WooHOO!!! Despite the 4am start, I'm sure to be having an amazing time. The last time I was lucky enough to attend Warhammer fest , was for the launch of Contrast paints. It is still my most read blog post! I'll try to jump in with a sneaky extra post to tell you about the convention (the headliner being the release of 10th edition of Warhammer 40k), so keep your eyes glued right here, to The Art of Caesura! Last week I painted my first white Space Marine, so this week let's re-balance things with one that's all black! From the moment I saw this model I fell in love with it! It is basically an alternate sculpt Primaris Chaplain from Artel W. I MUCH prefer it to the current Games Workshop one (though I did like th...

Their most important duty, though, concerns the dead;  an Apothecary can harvest the progenoid organs  from a fallen Space Marine,  ensuring the creation of further warriors  and the continuation of the Chapter. - Games Workshop Welcome back to The Art of Caesura! I hope you are all well! Before we dig into today's topic, I like to start my posts these days with a bit of reflection.  My wife and I just finished "Outlast" on Netflix. It's a reality TV show basically like "Survivor" of old, but with actual survivalists (folks who go and live out in the wilderness for lengths of time as their hobby). Anyway it was a great and engaging watch and one of the stars of the show was the stunningly beautiful Alaskan wilderness. As a biome, it is very similar to the part of Canada that I'm from (The Pacific Northwest). This kindled the desire to get back to nature, to hiking (previously something my wife and I would have done almost weekly) and reminded me of the H...

Amongst the most honoured Space Marines  of a Chapter are its Apothecaries.  It is their role to to mind the physical well-being  of their battle-brothers  – this is seen most obviously on the battlefield,  where an Apothecary serves as an emergency medic. - Games Workshop Hello one and all! Welcome back to your weekly dose of The Art of Caesura! If you are struggling to "find" the time for things, remember that you will never find the time. If you want time, you must make it.  I have to remind myself of this when I put off important but non-urgent duties under the idea that "I'll do them when I find the time." Anyway, there's your weekly dose of practical philosphy ahead of your weekly dose of hobby goodness! And what hobby goodness we have today! Instead of painting black (templars) I painted a WHITE space marine! No, no he's not a White Scar, he's still a Black Templar; it's time for the Primaris Apothecary! As a medic myself, I have been quit...
