...His Cenobyte Servitors lurch to war at his side,  bearing with them holy relics of the faith. - Games Workshop Good morning, welcome to an unseasonably sunny morning in the South West of Ireland and here on The Art of Caesura! Over the past few weeks we've been looking at Grimaldus and Co. he's the head honcho when it comes to the Black Templars' spirituality (or I guess religiosity would be a more accurate term). Two weeks ago we painted the big man himself, and last week we looked at painting the marble on the Remnant that one of the Cenobite Servitors is carrying.  Today we'll return our attentions to Grimaldus' attendants as we look at how I painted the Servitors in general.  When I started on the iconic pallid skin of the Servitors, I looked back at one of my posts from a few years ago: X-101 from Blackstone Fortress  for inspiration, and then I remembered the two Servitors on Helbrecht's base  and I realized that I've painted a surprising number...

Along with the Banner of Fallen Crusaders  and the Sceptre of Anointing,  the Remnant was taken by Reclusiarch Grimaldus,  from the ruins of Temple of the Emperor Ascendent  during the Third War of Armageddon. - Lexicanum Hello, and welcome back to The Art of Caesura! TGIF! Another Friday, another brief respite from the greater goings on of the world to focus on painting tiny dudes...or tiny masonry as the case may be! Last week I painted the legendary Grimaldus , and today we're starting in on his "friends". Grimaldus, the High Reclusiarch of the Black Templars is followed around by 3 poor unfortunate Cenobyte Servitors - folks who've had their brains lobotomized, their minds wiped and instilled with a singular purpose...to carry Grimmy's tchotchkes. Next week we'll look at how I painted the servitors in general, but today I want to focus in on how I painted the marble effect on The Remnant of the Fallen Temple. I had seen others accomplish a pretty convincin...

As grizzled a warrior as his Chapter has ever known,  High Chaplain Grimaldus is a beacon of Imperial faith.  His fortitude is such that many of his brothers believe him invincible.  His will is singular, his zeal coldly furious,  and his martial skill attested by the trail of broken foes  laid at his heels and his legendary stand at Helsreach. - Games Workshop Welcome back to The Art of Caesura! Happy Valentine's Day! My goodness me, work is among the busiest it's ever been this week! I just calculated it and I've worked 57 hours this week! Crikey! It has left precious little time for life outside work, but things should be back to normal next week.  As I continue to work away on the Gallowdark Terrain (currently neck deep in the riveting task of filing down all of the wall connections), on the blog, we will turn our attentions back to where we left off before all the Christmas festivities kicked in; back to my Black Templars.  Today is the first post...
