"Suffer Not the Unclean to Live!" - Primaris Crusader Squad

"Suffer Not the Unclean to Live!" - Primaris Crusader Squad - Part 2

Initiates aim jets of fire from their pyreblasters

or swing crackling power fists into their foes,

while hard-eyed Neophytes fight furiously

to prove their martial worth.

Welcome one and all to The Art of Caesura!

Last week we saw the last of my Primaris Crusader Squad - the Initiates. Now with the squad completely complete, we can see them altogether!

It feels great to have this iconic Black Templars squad finished. I've already used them in two games and they performed very well!

I love heterogeneous squads like this! Visually, they're much more interesting than a regular Intercessor squad. Not only do they have fully body tabards and other Black Templars trappings, but just having the mix of lightly armoured, unhelmeted Neophytes, the bulkier Initiates and then the properly pimpin' Sword Brother leading the squad gives a nice visual diversity to this collection.

The other nice element of models from a painting perspective, is that across the three model types in this squad (Neophyte, Initiate, Sword Bro) I have used every technique that I use across the rest of my force: Black Armour (obvs), cloth, leather, skin, red-trimmed pauldrons, various metal types; the squad is like an archetypal microcosm for Black Templars.

This is the guy that I magnetized. As I mentioned last week, I magnetized his arms so that he can be equipped with: Either a pyreblaster or heavy bolt pistol and either power fist or chainsword.

I also magnetized his head so that when he's holding the pyreblaster, he can be looking in the correct direction!

The magnetizing process itself is quite straightforward, where the effort comes in is in all the extra parts you have to paint (see below) - you go through pauldrons pretty quick doing this!

I hope you have enjoyed this look at the Primaris Crusader Squad!

I'll see you next week right here 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!! I've been wanting to write my thoughts on Scale 75 's Flesh Paint Set for ov

"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
