An Undead Project: Legions of Nagash

Our client, a passionate Warcry fan, met us through social media, where he saw our publications and was impressed with the quality of our work. He decided to contact us for a very special assignment: to paint five complete Warcry bands, all at our premium level of detail and precision.
The band in question, the “Legions of Nagash”, had to stand out not only for its quality of painting, but also for its visual storytelling and ambiance. The client wanted a color scheme that would highlight the sinister and decadent character of these undead. He requested worn and rusted steel armor, and deep blood red clothing for the skeletons and Grave Guard. For the Necromancer, he wanted a special scheme that included pale skin and earthy brown robes, ensuring that he would stand out as the imposing leader of the band.
In addition, he requested that the miniature bases be decorated with 3D printed bits, simulating the ruins of an ancient mausoleum. This specific request added an additional challenge, but also an opportunity to showcase our creativity and technical skill. We were honored to accept this assignment and committed to meet the client’s expectations, creating a band that truly comes to life on the battlefield.

Among Ruins and Bones: The Nagash Band

The development of the “Legions of Nagash” band was a project that required precision and dedication. Pau, our team leader and most experienced painter, led this assignment, making sure that each miniature was done to the highest level of quality.
We began by assembling the miniatures, and then Pau created a sample color scheme for the client’s approval. Once approved, we began painting, starting with a base of ochre and off-white colors for the bones, and continuing with the red clothing and rusty armor.
Throughout the process, we sent daily progress photos to the client, keeping him informed and excited. Every detail, from the aging with oils to the final touches of rust on the armor, was captured in these images. The Necromancer, with his pale skin and earthy brown robes, was the last to be painted, receiving special attention to stand out as the leader of the band.
Finally, the bases were decorated with 3D printed bits, simulating mausoleum ruins. This detailed process and constant communication with the client ensured that the result was an impressive band of miniatures true to their original vision.
