Welcome one and all to the 300th post on The Art of Caesura!!! Yes indeed, three hundred consecutive weeks of (mostly) hobby-related action over the past five and a half years! It's kind of hard to imagine - by any metric (number of photos per post or number of words per post or number of hours put into each post, multiplied by 300 is quite a lot no matter which way you cut it).  As a tribute to the blog, we're going to celebrate by looking at one hundred photos spanning from now back to the 200th post . And, as an Easter egg for those regular readers, you'll find some images from the future, that haven't yet been posted on the blog. As always, you can click on each picture for a high resolution version.  So sit back, and enjoy these snapshots from the blog as we celebrate 300 posts! Wow! Time flies! It was wonderful to look back and revel again in some of my most beloved miniatures and also to recall some of the miniatures that, frankly, I had forgotten about! Thank yo...

The money’s good, the dog’s loyal,  and the gun’s reliable –  but can you survive the hunt? - Focus Entertainment Welcome Gangers to The Art of Caesura! Man, years with no Necromunda video games and now we have two landing within half a year of each other! Last week we looked at Necromunda: Underhive Wars , but rather than just reviewing it, we looked at how I managed to reproduce my tabletop gang in the game.  Likewise, this week, I don't want to just review Necromunda: Hired Gun because there are already loads of reviews out there, and having read most of them, I don't think I would have too much to add. Instead, I will give a brief distillation of my overall thoughts, wax on about hired guns in the Necromunda setting, and then talk about how to make bank in this game. The short form is that the setting and sometimes the mobility are rad, but just about everything else is overwhelmingly average and some elements (crashes, inventory, takedown animations) are bad. ...

“Be that word our sign of parting, bird or fiend!” I shrieked, upstarting— “Get thee back into the tempest and the Night’s Plutonian shore!     Leave no black plume as a token of that lie thy soul hath spoken!     Leave my loneliness unbroken!—quit the bust above my door! Take thy beak from out my heart, and take thy form from off my door!”             Quoth the Raven “Nevermore.” - "The Raven" - Edgar Allen Poe Welcome fellow Caesurians to another Friday on The Art of Caesura! We're taking a brief respite from the dark gloomy depths of the Blackstone Fortress, to return, once again, to the dark gloomy depths of Necromunda. Cheery place the 41st millennium is! This post is a long time coming, but it has finally been given a shove of impetus by the recent release of the video game Necromunda: Hired Gun.  So, last year a different Necromunda video game came out, Necromunda: Underhive Wars. I enjoyed the campaign, but my enjoyment was ...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE ART OF CAESURA!! Bust out the cake, the blog's four years old!! Four years of posts every single week on The Art of Caesura!! The blog's birthday is always an amazing time. I've just been taking a little trip down memory lane, looking at the first , second and third birthdays on the blog. For those of you who have been with me for any of those other birthdays, THANK YOU SO MUCH for checking out my little hobby blog. Likewise, to those joining us for the first time this year, welcome, come on in and join in the celebrations! In the amended words of a great Irish pub song: "whoever you are, you're one of us, whoever you are, we'll make a fuss if you're [a hobbiest], this is the place for you!" - ~ - If there's ever a time for self-indulgence, it's on one's birthday, so let's take a nice self-indulgent look at some of the accomplishments documented on this blog over the past year.
