"Micro changes in air density, my ass."  - Ripley, Alien Hi all, welcome back to The Art of Caesura! I'm sending you loads of positive vibes, especially if you need them today! Today's post is a continuation of last week's , so if you haven't had a chance to check out that one, I'd suggest you do so... Well, well, well, "taking a break" from the Gallowdark turned into a year-long hiatus! I've had another kid since I originally wrote the last post! But you know what, I've painted a TON of fun Hellboy miniatures and even did a few big jobs on my Black Templars, so it was just the break I needed from this mammoth terrain project. But now I want to throw myself back into it and finish it off!  So let's pick up right where we left off last week, and that was with copper! I had mentioned that it was the copper that did me in the last time. I had made it about a third of the way through all of the copper before giving this project a rest...a...

Hello again, and welcome back to The Art of Caesura! I hope you enjoyed the 9th birthday party for this blog last week . The birthday posts are always quite an undertaking, but I enjoy putting in the effort to mark the occasion. As I mentioned in the post, it's also nice to force ourselves to reflect from time to time!

I've updated it slightly, but by the end, you'll see why it is only appearing on the blog now... *** Two years ago the Gallowdark terrain was released for the "Into the Dark" Kill Team season. Subsequently, this was introduced into larger 40k in the "Boarding Actions" game mode. It was my hobby goal for 2023 (and then again for 2024) to get this terrain painted. I really REALLY...

Come one, come all to the NINTH birthday celebrations for The Art of Caesura!   It's an exciting day, here on the blog! For those of you joining us new this year - welcome! For those of you who have been 'round these parts a while - welcome back! Regardless of whether you're old or new, (and to quote an Irish pub song) "whoever you are, we'll make a fuss, whoever you are, you're one of us"! So grab the beverage and snacks of your choice (water and celery sticks, I'm sure!) and settle into the biggest blog post of the year as we celebrate the past year on The Art of Caesura! And, we shall begin the festivities in the time-honoured fashion of all great parties; with an infographic! I was kind of smitten with that template when I saw it, what it lacks in colour, it more than makes up for in that late 90's / early 2000's Mouldy Peaches / Napoleon Dynamite doodle-vibe.  But let's take a few moments to slow it down and take a closer look at what...
