Dragons of the Void: The Perfect Fusion of Aenarion and Space Marines

Our client came to Art-W Studio after seeing some of our previous work on custom miniatures. He wanted to shape a completely unique Space Marine chapter, the Void Dragons, inspired by the majestic figure of Aenarion, the Dragon Prince of the High Elves. He contacted us looking for a team that could not only assemble and paint his miniatures, but also understood and shared his passion for detail.
From the very first moment, we knew this project would be special. He asked us to create an army with a dark blue color scheme for armor and deep red for heraldry, accompanied by incandescent pink energy effects. In addition, he wanted a custom Primarch that captured the essence of his vision, with 3D printed draconic details to give each unit an epic and distinctive character.
The level of detail requested, from the golden armor for the Bladeguard to the Mars-like desert bases for miniatures, made it clear to us that this was not just any assignment. It was an opportunity to transform a passionate idea into an impressive reality.

The Vision Behind the Dragons of the Void: A Creative Journey

The process of creating the Void Dragons was intense and detailed, and we made sure to share each stage with our client through daily photos. We started with the assembly of the miniatures, a task that required precision to ensure that each 3D printed bit was perfectly integrated into the figure. The first major milestone was the selection of the color scheme, for which we prepared samples in gold, red and white for the special units. Once decided, we started working on the armor gradients and energy effects.
Each day represented a new advance, from the application of washes to define the details to the creation of the desert bases. The team of painters worked in parallel, assigning different units to each other to ensure that each group-maintained consistency and the required level of quality.
The photos submitted not only showed progress, but also to receive immediate feedback from the client, allowing for real-time adjustments. This collaborative approach was key to the Void Dragons achieving a level of detail and customization that far exceeded initial expectations.
