"Spins a Web...Any Size!" - Spider-Man

"Spins a Web...Any Size!" - Spider-Man - Part 1

With great power, comes great responsibility.

Hi everyone, welcome back to another Friday on the Art of Caesura!

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

Over the past two weeks we have begun our coverage of Marvel Zombiecide by looking at Black Panther. Today we'll look at the work-in-progress of my favorite superhero: Spider-Man!

I laid down all the base colors with contrast paints starting with Flesh Tearers Red and then Talassar Blue.

I gave extra vibrancy to the blue by highlighting with Magic Blue and then Electric Blue - both from Vallejo.

I then brought the red up to a bright near-orange using Mephiston Red and adding in Evil Sun Scarlet and Kimera's Warm Yellow.

Although I liked the volumes that this produced, it had pushed things a little too far into the orange spectrum, so I brought it all back to red with an all-over layer of diluted Contrast Baal Red. Much better.

At this point I really considered trying to line-in all of the black cob-webbing on his costume. But I knew "that way lies madness" so instead, I just picked out around his eyes and the spider emblem on his chest in black.

With that, Spider-Man himself was done, so I turned my attention towards his scenic base.

The base's base colours (hee hee) are Steel Legion Drab, Vallejo Metal Color (sic), and the brick is AK's Burnt Red. I washed the non-metal colours with Agrax Earthshade, and then dry brushed them with Ushabti Bone.

And that's it for our friendly neighbourhood web-slinger!

Thanks for tuning in, I'll see you next week on The Art of Caesura!

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...

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...

"Righteous Crusaders" - New Black Templars Stuff and Strategies

"Accept any challenge no matter the odds!" Black Templars Codex Hello and welcome back to The Art of Caesura! I'm sending loads of positivity your way, especially if you need it today! Today we're changing gears a bit. I had meant for this post to come out last week, but that was before I had realized that I had neglected the poor Emberling . So a few weeks ago now at this point, my beloved Black Templars (the army that I have played since 3rd edition of Warhammer 40k - which is now in its 10th edition!) received a revamp! New codex (which brought all new rules, new points, new style of play), new models, new dice, new Combat Patrol . For someone like me, who historically has only got a game in every 6 months or so (that's about to change - tune back in next week!) and who has many (MANY) other hobby interests, the new rules are very exciting but also met with some trepidation of investing the time to relearn everything. Well, I have started investing the time...
