"Nobody's Innocent!" - Preacher Karl (Judge Dredd)

"Nobody's Innocent!" - Preacher Karl (Judge Dredd) - Part 2

Gaze into the fist of Dredd

- Brian Bolland, Judge Death Lives (1981)

Welcome back to another Friday on The Art of Caesura!

We're just entering Space Station Zero in terms of our coverage here on The Art of Caesura. Three weeks ago we looked at inspiration I drew regarding the miniatures for this game. Two weeks ago, we set the scene with my narrative about my crew, and last week we took a look at the painting process of today's miniature: Preacher Karl / Judge Dredd (or Soldier Garrick Thorne as he is known in my crew).

As the only Soldier in my crew (as an Exploration ship, I'm only allowed to have one of each crew-type until I've fulfilled every role), he better be ready to kill some stuff...and survive!

The Soldier's innate ability (Combat Specialist - Once per turn, when the Soldier makes a Combat Challenge Test, they may select any two dice from the results and reroll those dice) will make him more reliable at killing. He will use his free Side Arm for this (as represented on his model).

When I originally designed my crew, I thought each member could have 3 pieces of equipment, but it's actually three total for the six-person whole crew! So I had to strip him of his armoured jacket and the like and run him with only the sidearm. I think there's a chance that they can find new equipment during their run through Space Station Zero, so I'll have to keep my fingers crossed that he gets something good...and relevant!

Thanks for joining me as we make our way deeper and deeper into Space Station Zero. See you next week for more 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...
