Land Raider Crusader - Part 4

Land Raider Crusader - Part 4 - Complete

Land Raiders are mobile fortresses that bear squads of Space Marines

through the most furious firestorms without so much as a scratch.

Their machine spirits are so potent that if the crew are slain they will

take over, making the tank a truly formidable asset.

Hello, and welcome back to The Art of Caesura!

This month on the blog we've been cataloguing my progress of refurbishing my old Land Raider Crusader. If you're just joining us now, I suggest that you head on back to the first post in this series from a few weeks ago where I talked about rediscovering this model. From there, I detailed reassembling it, and last week I talked through my repainting process.

That brings us to today, were we relish in the majesty that is The Land Raider Crusader.

Before I just let the pictures speak for themselves I just want to mention a small caveat. I felt like my phone kind of did me dirty with some of these photos. I always find it tricky to photograph larger miniatures in the "emerging from darkness" style that I go for. This one was especially difficult. Because of the shear size of it, my depth of field couldn't compensate and so some areas of these photos are a bit blurry. I hope it doesn't detract too much from your enjoyment of looking at this awesome tank!

Yes indeed! There we have it! The mighty Land Raider Crusader is ready to return to the battlefield after twenty-odd years out of commission!

Thank you for following the through this fun refurb. I'll see you next week 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
