Customer briefing

Echoes of Baal: The Damned Company Awakens.

It all started with a direct message. The client already knew our work and was very clear about what he was looking for: to transform a collection of miniatures of the Bloody Angels into a force completely immersed in the aesthetics of the Company of Death. We loved the clarity of his proposal from the very first moment.
He commissioned us to paint 20 marines (10 with tactical backpacks, 10 with retrorockets), a Repulsor and four emblematic characters. The heart of the project was in its setting: an army unified around the solemn black of the Company of Death, with its symbols of condemnation clearly visible. The “X’s” on shoulder pads and knees were not just an ornament, they were essential.
The characters, however, were to stand out: Mephiston, Dante, Lemartes and Astorath would follow the official colors as they appear on the Games Workshop website. He also specified that he wanted all the bases to simulate the red deserts of Baal.

Blood, Sand & Steel: Wrath of the Fallen

We organized this project as a well-planned campaign: daily progress, clear objectives and constant reviews with the client. From the first brushstroke, each phase was recorded with photos that we sent day after day, so he could see how his vision took shape.
We started with the infantry and Repulsor, painted at the Game level. Although the scheme was unified, the challenge was to maintain dynamism and variety between poses, while respecting the somber character of the Company of Death. Black was the protagonist, but the white “X’s” on shoulder pads and knees stole part of the spotlight: small, simple… and absolutely essential.
The characters were another story. Painted at the Ornate level, each one had their moment in the spotlight on the workbench. Here we allowed ourselves more detail, more care, more layers. Following the Games Workshop style allowed us to show off more advanced techniques and show the best of our studio.
The bases were the final touch: desert tones, cracked earth and that reddish dust that transports us directly to Baal. A perfect closure for a Blood Angels project that, step by step, was built with patience, dedication and many shared photos.
