Red as War, Black as Death: The Making of a Legion

Some clients come through recommendations, others by seeing our work in networks. In this case, the client discovered us while researching painters specialized in Adeptus Titanicus miniatures. He had a clear goal: he wanted his detachment of titans to faithfully reflect the iconic Legio Ignatum scheme, with no alterations or additions outside the official background.

The assignment included a Warlord, a Warbringer Nemesis, a Reaver and two Warhounds, all painted at game level and following the Burden of Loyalty book reference. In addition, he requested that the weapons of the Warhounds be magnetized, allowing him more flexibility when deploying them in battle.

For the bases, he asked for something in keeping with the brutality of titanic warfare: an environment of devastated earth and rubble, evoking the relentless passage of these war machines across the battlefield.

Colossus of War: An Army of Titans Awakens

The process began with meticulous planning: to speed up the work and ensure a clean finish, we decided to paint the internal structure and the armor plates separately. This strategy allowed us to apply details and shading without interference, achieving a more polished result.
The Legio Ignatum scheme was a pleasure to work with, but it had its challenge: the black stripes on the yellow plates. To ensure accurate, flawless lines, we used a masking method, allowing us to apply the color without affecting the rest of the miniature.
During the process, we send the customer daily updates with progress photos, from the first layers to the final details. Seeing the evolution of his titans in real time allowed him to enjoy the process even more and give us feedback at every stage.
With the miniatures finished, we assembled each titan and worked on the bases to give them a look that matched their background: a devastated war landscape, full of rubble and torn earth. The final result was impressive and left the client delighted.
