"Big Bang" - Doctor Falconer

"Big Bang" - Doctor Falconer - Part 1

I'm an engineer. If it's not broken, I don't fix it.

If it's Friday, it's time for the The Art of Caesura!

Hello fellow Caesurians, I hope you are well! While I show you these pictures of the Zombicide Invader minis that I'm using for my Space Station Zero crew, I'm secretly ferreting away on other exciting hobby projects that I can't wait to show you...but wait I must, for today we're looking at the very brilliant Doctor Falconer / Stephen Hawkins / Chief Engineer Boros

Another fun and characterful model from Zombicide Invader. The name this time is obvious (Dr HAWKins vs Dr FALCONer). With his super-smarts and souped-up mobility assistance rig, he can definitely fulfill the roll of Chief Engineer Boros in my Space Station Zero crew.

In terms of painting this guy, I sprayed him black (leaving the areas that would be metallic black) and I painted his jumpsuit Deathworld Forest, and all the areas that would be industrial yellow, Steel Legion Drab.

I possibly went a bit too vibrant with the yellow that I chose (Kimera's Yellow Oxide) but it dulled down nicely in the end.

Before weathering everything, I painted all of the metal parts with Vallejo Metal Color (sic) Gunmetal Grey. Then I gave everything a healthy helping of Agrax Earthshade before building up the green and yellow with their original colours and then added in Wraithbone for highlights.

All that was left to do was paint the details: his face and hair and the cushion behind his head.

And that's it! Nice and easy and effective.

Thanks for joining me for another Friday 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...
