"Hate-fueled Zealotry" - Terminator Chaplain Conversion

"Hate-fueled Zealotry" - Terminator Chaplain Conversion - Part 2

Welcome back to another Friday on The Art of Caesura!

It's hard to believe that we're well into October already!

As usual, I'm sending you loads of positive vibes, especially if you need them today.

Last week, we checked out my kit-bashed conversion of the Terminator Librarian into a Terminator Chaplain for my Black Templars. Today we'll look at the painting process of this guy. But, I did actually paint him back in May, so for detail into the painting process that I use for all of my Templars, check out this evergreen post.

Knowing that this was something of a bespoke miniature, I was uncharacteristically thorough in my photographing of each step. I try to include the paint in the photo to make it easier to follow along. So we'll mostly let the photos do the talking.

Above you can see the finished product, and below you can see where we left off last week...

I start by laying the browns into the crevices.

And then add the cool tones to the armour.

With the black armour complete, I started on the lighter elements - being careful to differentiate the parchment from bone.

I then launched into the reds.

I'm missing one photo here: after Mephiston Red, I cover all reds with a coat of Flesh Tearers Red then I apply Mephiston Red to the raised areas and then the steps below for battle damage.

I couldn't totally decide on what colour I wanted his large tome to be. Starting with a mid-brown, I changed it to more of a reddy-brown.

Like the book, I was a little undecided about what colour to paint the purity seals. I settled on purple.

And finally, onto the metallics.

I tried to add a little visual interest to the Crozius Arcanum (seen below) by painting it two-toned: Sycorax Bronze and Hashut Copper.

With the metals done, all that remained was his head.

I got a local guy that I found on Etsy to 3D print a few things, including a bunch of skull helms. I spent a while trying to decide which one to settle on for my Terminator Chaplain, and ended up with this "fiery" one!

I know it's totally ridiculous, but it's ridiculous in a very Warhammer 40k way!

And with his birthday cake head in situ, my Terminator Chaplain was done!

Hell yeah!

I'll see you next week when we take a look at some atmospheric photos of this guy. Tune in then, 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!

"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
