Grey Knights Grimdark
Color and paint schemes

Welcome to the battlefield, where every miniature tells a story of bravery and strategy! In our latest project at Art-W Studio, we embarked on an epic mission to expand our loyal client’s Grey Knights army.
At the heart of our creative approach lay a color scheme meticulously designed to capture the grim and heroic essence of the Grey Knights. We opted for dark, desaturated tones, highlighted by worn silvers and muted golds. Reddish fabrics, reminiscent of wine, add a note of drama while bluish OSL effects enhance the atmosphere in which our miniatures unfold.
To bring these brave figures to life, we immersed ourselves in the creation of bases that reflect the hostile terrain in which the Grey Knights fight. From rocky landscapes to battle debris, each base is designed to transport the viewer into the intensity of the conflict. In addition, we have taken care of every detail, assembling each miniature with precision, and adding 3D printed elements for further customization.
In terms of process, we distributed tasks efficiently to optimize our production. While the assembly was carried out nimbly by one of our talented painters, Lucian, another team member took care of the meticulous painting, making sure to maintain consistency with the client’s previous projects.

Conquering Worlds: The Guardians of Dawn

The first contact with our client was the beginning of an exciting journey towards the expansion of their Grey Knights army. Upon meeting with Art-W Studio, he presented us with his vision for the project: a carefully planned expansion that would complete his collection with brave warriors and heroes.
He requested that we keep the same color scheme used in previous releases to ensure uniformity in his army. In addition, he entrusted us with his most detailed wishes, providing precise instructions on every aspect of the miniatures, from armament choices to specific painting details.
His dedication and enthusiasm for his hobby were evident, turning his order into more than just a simple transaction, but a passionate collaboration to make his wartime dreams come true.

Our commitment to transparency and excellence leads us to share with our clients every step of the creative journey.
From initial assembly to the final touches of paint, we have meticulously documented the process of expanding the Grey Knights army. Through a series of daily images, we have taken our client on a virtual journey, showing them the progress of each miniature as they came to life in our studio.
Each photo captures moments of concentration and mastery, from the careful construction of the miniatures to the expert application of each coat of paint. In addition, we have been in constant contact, sharing updates and answering questions to ensure that the client feels involved and satisfied at every stage of the process.
This close and transparent collaboration is the very essence of our philosophy at Art-W Studio.
