"Have You Been Impulsed Today?" - Impulsor - Part 3

The Impulsor's open-backed design

allows it to transport a squad of Space Marines

swiftly into battle,

entirely bypassing obstacles

and delivering its deadly cargo into the heart of the battle.

Welcome back friend of the Caesura!

Over the past 2 weeks we have been looking at the work-in-progress of my Black Templars Impusor. Today let's look at the finished tank in all its glory!

I wasn't so sure about this tank when it first came out. In fact the whole "hovering, repulsor technology" thing didn't really do it for me. For me, tanks are all about their heavy treaded tracks rumbling inexorably towards you. I had considered converting it to a tracked version (as I have seen some people do online), but I couldn't really be bothered. And actually now that I have it fully built and painted, I do quite like it. It retains the chunky, angular silhouette that is so iconic of all Space Marine vehicles.

Anyway, without further ado, let's take a look at this tank in all it's glory.

With (above) and without (below) rocket pod. The whole thing is magnetized and unglued to allow for every Impulsor and Gladiator option (I haven't finished painting all of the Gladiator turret options yet, but I will be sure to show you when I do).

Can you remember which Maltese Cross wore off?

And there we go! Thanks for following me through another tank project 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 - 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 !

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...
