Wow, what a journey! This was a huge project with all sorts of miniatures from Firestorm Armada and some third party models for Battlefleet Gothic. Pictured are models only for a portion of the total commission, probably a third or half the models I ended up painting.
Though Spartan Games is now defunct, the IP from them was bought by Warcradle Studios, so we can hopefully expect reprints and new models for this game eventually! They just released some products for Dystopian Wars, so maybe Firestorm Armada is next.
The Battlefleet Gothic ships are by Soulforge Studio. A digital sculptor with a Patreon as well, their work is phenomenal. The models are highly detailed and printed with a resin printer so those details can actually show up! Check out their stuff!

The final Battlefleet Gothic ship, the Tear of Blood, is complete, plus a couple battleships.
I’m really excited about this ship with its unique colour scheme. I have never done so much marbling on a model, let alone blue marbling on the hull of a space ship. This 3D print from Soulforge Studio already has a ton of detail, adding the marble texture I think gives it a certain elegance. Then the white marble gems to bring the scheme together make great focal points on the ship.
Then a couple Hawker battleships to round out this batch. Just like their cruisers, I like the design of the battleships for the same reasons. There is that familiar sci-fi architecture that we see in a lot of human-based civilizations, and I am here for it.
Firestorm Armada & BFG Commission Update #29 – The Iron Gauntlet and Hawker Cruisers March 28, 2023

Another big boy ship is done. The Iron Gauntlet is a resin 3D print from Soul Forge Studios, a very large model like the ships from this line before. I think the colour scheme is from the Battlefleet Gothic game and it really looks good all done. This ship comes with a baby ship that I shared the scheme with.
There are also four Hawker Industries cruisers that are done too. These ones follow their box art. I really like the design of these ships. They convey a familiar sci-fi aesthetic while looking pretty slick.

He rides the stars shooting the enemies of the Imperium out of the sky, he is Girlymann.
This is another Battlefleet Gothic inspired ship from Soulforge Studios and 3d printed in resin. From the last update, I added gold laurels with a blue background on the fins on each side of the ship. Plus some more gold points around the spires where it seemed to make sense, breaking up the beige.
Firestorm Armada & BFG Commission Update #20 – Guilliman’s Flagship WIP January 12, 2023

I gotta say, this one is quite a bit of work. Here is a few WIP pictures. There is to be no Ultramarine iconography, but there can be blue in the scheme. Something to make it feel like a Primarch’s flagship. Maybe something can be done with the spires? We will have to see. Otherwise, this is almost done.

The first half of the Seekers are done. I think these are the only true infantry I’ve done for the White Scars. Everyone else has been either on a bike, with a jump pack, or was a robot. Some daggers, pistols, and grenades have been added as well. They are looking quite formidable. 10 more to go.

The other 5 models in this units are done. One of them is the sergeant with a power halberd. The body was originally an Imperial Fist torso with an insignia. I filed it off and sculpted on the Roman numeral instead. I think it blends in well and looks great.
All that’s left is a block of 20 Seekers.

First batch of Destroyers done. Double pistols are alternate bolt pistols with drum magazines and plasma pistols. Alternate jump packs and melta bombs attached, they are ready for some pew pew.

There are two Apothecaries that are assigned to the army. Naturally, they get jump packs for more efficient door-to-door surgery. They also get fancy squiggly spears. I think the next White Scars minis will be the dreadnoughts.

With the completion of the bolter bikes, the Outriders are now complete. They all have some sort of power weapon, I think they are going to be used as some sort of special weapons unit.
Included is also the Warlord on bike. He is the one doing a wheelie and has a glaive. I was also asked to paint some eagles and one of them is attached to a base. It looks like it’s going to be some kind of marker during the game.
The next batch for this commission will be some Mechanicum models, but they are getting prepped for painting, so I will be painting more Harlequins right now.
