Executioners Blade guard
Character level
These were to be former veterans of the Badab War, and given their chapter the Executioners and way of battle, we got them some specific iconography for their shoulder pads and tilt shield. In addition, we really gave them a war-torn look. Look at their bases to see why they're so angry. Only the sharp-eyed among you will see why.
Client instructions
The client wanted these to be veterans of the Badab War, and as such, they wanted them to be showing an intense amount of battle damage. In addition, they wanted axes for them, so we customized some axes with Blender so that every single one of them was unique. We spent a lot of time trying to get the damage and shine to contrast with our unique chipping style.
Summarised Process
-
Conversion
We 3D printed axes to convert the weapons and did a dry fitting
-
Metallics and Chipping
Next we airbrush metallics and sponge on masking fluid and apply the rust effects to create realistic chipping
-
Detailing
Now we paint in the details and add depth through shading
-
Basing
Now we fully assemble the model and put it on a battle ruin base
