From the Chain to the Field: The Creation of the Ball Dwarf

Our client is already an old acquaintance at Art-W Studio. Since he discovered us a few years ago, he has become a regular in our workshop, entrusting us with some of his most special projects. On this occasion, he contacted us with a clear idea: he wanted his Blood Bowl Dwarf team to stand out both on the field and in his showcase. He knew exactly what he was looking for, and that precision is what made our work on this project so detailed.

The Blood Bowl Dwarf Team color scheme requested was very specific: a deep charcoal green and a dark gray almost black, with touches of burgundy red for the ribbons and straps. This scheme we had worked on previous projects for him, and it is a hallmark of his armies. In addition, he asked us to give each dwarf his own personality through the colors of his beards, something that added an extra level of complexity to the assignment.

In addition to the premium painting, he asked us to perform a small conversion on the Giant Ball Dwarf, to make him look even more impressive in the field. Every detail was carefully planned and executed, just as our client had imagined.

Designing a Snowy Soccer Field for Dwarfs

The process of this project was a thorough and detailed journey. It all started with the conversion of the Giant Ball Dwarf, where we added a chain that not only improved his aesthetics, but also gave him a dynamic touch. Once that was done, Ruben got down to preparing the miniatures for painting.

As always, we started with a sample miniature. We knew that the colors were crucial, so after receiving the client’s approval, we continued with the rest of the team. We airbrushed each miniature for the bases and brushed on the details, making sure that the dark shades of green and gray blended seamlessly with the touches of burgundy red.

Daily, we sent photos to the client, showing the progress and making sure everything was going according to plan. The beards, the armor, the small details on the straps and metals… everything was worked on with precision.

Finally, the bases were finished with electrostatic grass and snow, creating a perfect environment for the team. Each visual update allowed the client to closely follow the transformation of their miniatures, and see their vision come to life at every stage of the process.
