Customer briefing

Techmarines in the service of the Omnissiah

This project was born from the vision of a client who already had a clear idea of how he wanted to present his Iron Hands. It wasn’t just an army to play with, but a set that had to fit into a display he had designed himself.
The briefing included selected pieces: Iron Father Feirros, several Techmarines, a squad of Heavy Intercessors, and three different dreadnoughts. The scheme was classic black with metallic details. He also insisted that we avoid any kind of weathering or battle damage.
Another key point was integration into the display. To achieve this, he requested custom bases with cork and 3D printing, as well as magnetization so that each miniature would fit perfectly into the structure he was preparing.

The army of the personalized symbol

From day one, we organized our work with a clear goal in mind: total consistency. We began by airbrushing all the armor in deep black and applying the first metallic highlights in unison, so that the base would be uniform.
The biggest challenge was reproducing the chapter’s custom symbol. It was a freehand design that had to be applied to several miniatures, and repeating it required extreme precision.
The bases also took extra time: we modeled a mixture of cork with 3D-printed pieces, seeking the industrial aesthetic that the client had imagined.
