"Reality Collapse" - Oathsworn Chapter 2 - Satyr

"Reality Collapse" - Oathsworn Chapter 2 - Satyr - Part 2

Howdy, howdy, howdy! Welcome back to The Art of Caesura!

Last week we looked at how I painted this amazing model (using both my new airbrush and also a standard hairy brush). Today, we will admire the Satyr in all its dark glory.

Something that I kept in mind while I was painting this model was the idea of focal points. With his large, busy staff, it would be quite easy for that to draw attention away from his face (where I wanted the gaze to initially land). To counter that, I painted all elements of his staff in neutral tones, while painting the Satyr's face and skin using saturated hues.

On the topic of focal points, something that is a bit bothersome from the photos, is that the glowing rune on the ground appears extremely prominent. It doesn't appear quite so bright "in real life", but also when you hold the model up to your eye-line (a vantage that I failed to take a picture of for this page) the angle of the stone actually completely hides the rune. This is cool, because when you hold the model up to eye-level, you can't see the rune, but then when you set it back on the table, it seems to appear.

This was a really fun model to paint. Full of character and atmosphere, it didn't have excessive details bogging it down. The large scale provided a forgiving canvas to give the airbrush a go!

I hope you enjoyed this look at the Satyr! See you next week 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...
