Warriors among ruins: the army of White Scars

The client came to us on the recommendation of another fan, who had been delighted with a previous project. He contacted us with a clear idea in mind: a White Scars army with a strong focus on battle wear, war-scarred armor and mud-covered vehicles, all set in a crumbling cityscape. He didn’t just want a nicely painted army, but something that conveyed history and realism in each miniature.
Initially, he asked us for a small fighting force, but after seeing the result, he decided to expand it. Just as we were about to start this new phase, he asked us for a second expansion, which led us to work on both commissions at the same time. We kept his original vision, adding battle effects to the white armor, and paying special attention to the vehicles and motorcycles, which should appear to have advanced along devastated roads.
The client also asked us to customize the shoulder pads of some units with emblems from the White Scars chapter, which we achieved by using 3D printing to give it that special touch. It was an ambitious assignment that we enjoyed carrying out.

Motorcycle Chaplains and Armored Tanks: The White Scars Expansion

The process of this project went smoothly from the beginning, thanks to the fact that we had worked with this client before and knew their expectations well. We did not have to make a sample miniature, as the color scheme and battle effects were already approved. We started assembling all the miniatures, separating the bases so we could work on them separately.
As we progressed, we sent daily progress photos to the client, keeping him informed at all times. The first previews showed the miniatures already assembled and with the airbrush bases applied, ready for the finer details. Then, we moved on to work on the armor, applying shadows, damage effects and the mud touches on the vehicles.
Finally, we focused on the more specific details, such as weapons, icons and light effects on swords and energy weapons. In parallel, the bases were being completed, simulating the shattered roads and the remains of the devastated city. With each photo we sent, the client became more enthusiastic, and upon seeing the final results, the satisfaction was mutual. The whole army took shape just as we had planned.
