"Fire in the Disco" - Flaming Zombies - Part 1

Don't you wanna know how we keep startin' fires? It's my desire. - Danger! High Voltage - Electric Six Welcome back to The Art of Caesura! For almost the past month, I have been in my hometown of Victoria, Canada for my brother's wedding. It was a wonderful event and our trip was a much needed respite from the daily doldrums - to which I have now returned!    Anyway, for a further excursion from the daily grind, let's take a look at today's models: World of Smog's Flaming Zombies! Last week marked a bit of a return to the miniatures of The Rise of Moloch (the second game under The World of Smog banner). I love dipping back into these models from time to time because they are suffused with such character and paint up very quickly.  I previously painted up the Dismembered Zombies and the Beefeater Zombies , so now it was time for the flaming variety.  I painted all 5 of these guys at once, and for expediency sake, I just kept them all the same colour scheme....

"Ah-hoo" - Drago - Part 2

Drago fell upon his would-be executioners.  What was found of their bodies would haunt  the nightmares of the men who came across them. - CMON   Hello one and all, welcome back to The Art of Caesura! Last week we left off with Drago after 3 quick passes with contrast paints over a zenithal undercoat. From there I just added a few quick highlights to bring him to where he is today. I have detailed those highlights in last week's post .  I think he turned out pretty well for half an hour's work! Drago was a nice palate-cleanser after all the Black Templars that we've had this year. I have a few more of these odd balls in the pipeline.  Reading: Lessons - Ian McEwan Next Week: Fire in the disco...

"Werewolves of London" - Drago - Part 1

After years enjoying a privileged life,  Drago was now forced to run,  a hunted beast pursued by his father’s soldiers.  - CMON Welcome back to The Art of Caesura! Today we have a bit of an intermission from all of the Black Templars content of late. Every so often I just need a bit of a palate-cleanser, and today is such a day.  I have painted many miniatures from the World of Smog Rise of Moloch. I really love the steampunk Victorian aesthetic, and the miniatures are zany and full of character.  Today we'll look at the monstrous Drago. Drago was born into nobility and raised with all of the benefits of a royal life. His father was the Voivod of the Province of Valcea, and Drago was destined to succeed him in that role. That is, until a fateful foxhunt went terribly wrong. It had dragged on until dusk and the hunting party was just about to give up when Drago was attacked by a vicious beast that ran off before it could be identified. In his agony, Drago showed ...

My Brother's Wedding!

But when I look up to the sky And I see nothing but the stars Recite the words etched in my heart... - Without Answer, Tribunal Welcome all,  Today is a brief post to tell you of some exciting news: tomorrow my wee baby brother, Rory, is getting married to his wonderful love, Claire.  Raise a glass to Claire and Rory! I'll see you back next week, right here on The Art of Caesura!
