Between dust and blood: the march of the Imperial Fists

This project came from a client who was looking for an army of Imperial Fists. This wasn’t their first time working with us, so they came with a very clear idea: a classic scheme, faithful to the background, but with a strong emphasis on wear and battle damage. That instruction was applied to the entire army, from tactical squads to heavy tanks, including iconic characters such as Sigismund and Pollux. Rogal Dorn was to be the center of attention, represented with a premium level that would stand out both in display cases and on the table. The customer also requested magnetized bases to facilitate transport and gameplay, and gave us free rein to add 3D scenic elements.

Golden fists, iron souls

We started by airbrushing the entire army in yellow to ensure color uniformity. This common step gave us the perfect base to work on each unit separately without losing cohesion. The Tactical Marines were worked on with brush techniques to add chips, scratches, and dirt. The tanks, on the other hand, received more intense weathering layers: rust, dust, and impact marks. At the same time, we prepared the heroes, which required conversions and scale adjustments, especially for Pollux and Garrius.
