This particular commission was for ourclient’s Warhammer 40k Imperial Knight Hawkshroud army. It was a thrilling challenge, as we were tasked with painting five regular knights and two armigers to a level 3 quality with weathering effects. Additionally, there was a Dominus Pattern Knight to be painted to a level 4 quality, complete with battle damage and weathering effects.
The regular knights and armigers were painted to a level 3 quality, which allowed us to capture the intricate details of the armor and weapons, while also adding weathering effects to give the miniatures a sense of history and battle experience. The weathering effects included chipping, scratches, and dirt accumulation, which were carefully applied to each miniature to create a unique and realistic look.
The Dominus Pattern Knight, on the other hand, required extra attention to detail and a higher level of painting expertise. This miniature was painted to a level 4 quality, which allowed us to apply careful battle damage and weathering effects that gave the impression of a long and storied battle history. The paint was expertly layered and blended, creating the illusion of damage that was both realistic and aesthetically pleasing.
All of the miniatures were placed on cityscape bases to match the client’s existing army, which created a cohesive and uniform look across the entire army. The bases included intricate cityscape pieces, such as crumbling ruins and debris, that were carefully crafted and painted to create a realistic and immersive battlefield environment.
