Happy Friday on The Art of Caesura!

Today is the eve of the launch of the 10th edition of Warhammer 40k! I am really REALLY looking forward to this! I have been avidly following much of the coverage from Warhammer Community and, as someone who is just getting back into the gaming side of things, I am really liking the direction that they appear to be going.

I know that many will lament the loss of flavour that streamlining has necessitated, but for myself who, realistically, will probably end up playing a maximum of 6 games in the next year (every other month if I'm lucky) and will thus struggle to retain rules, it is a welcome change.

Anyway, today we're actually looking at a model that I painted up for Kill Team. In the painting process for this guy last week, I mentioned that I was running an Intercession Squad in my first game of Kill Team, and was surprised to find that while I have now painted a bunch of Assault Intercessors, I had not specifically painted a grenadier. So it was time to change that!

For my work-in-progress shots of this guy, check out last week's post...

...And for an in-depth look at my Black Templar painting process, I offer this master post.

I mentioned last week that it was a lovely change of pace to only paint one standard duder on this occasion. Usually I would be painting 5 of these guys at a time, or one heavily detailed character model.

I gave him a yellow Maltese cross decal on his power pack to kind of differentiate him as a specialist.

Man, I love Black Templars! I just think they look so cool. I am really excited to add the new models from Leviathan (especially the Terminators) to my force!

See you next Friday on The Art of Caesura!

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 Full Stop - Trench Crusade

The skies shall darken, the ground shall open up and the screams of the damned shall echo through the ages. - Novae Revelationes 99:24, Trench Crusade Greetings friends of the Caesura, and welcome back to your Friday dose of The Art of Caesura! I hope you are well, and I'm sending loads of positive vibes your way, especially if you need them today (and you will after reading of the awesome Grimdark horrors ahead). Last week we left off looking at my plans and aspirations for Hive Fleet Klendathu, and today I had planned to show you the test model that I have painted for this Starship Troopers-inspired Tyranid force. However, something cool is afoot, and it's kind of time-sensitive... That's right - there's a Kickstarter (which has now raised over 2 million dollars!) for a very Grimdark miniatures skirmish game and it is due to end on Tuesday, so I decided to reschedule things on the blog a little to draw your attention to this before you miss your chance. I am talki...

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.
