Perfect for your army’s core—troops, beasts, swarms.


Get clean, professional results with crisp base coats, edge highlights, detailed lenses, screens, buttons, and more. Faces are shaded and highlighted with care, including painted eyes, teeth, tongues, and hair. We also handwrite purity seals, scrolls, and relic text for that extra touch.

A polished, game-ready finish that brings your units to life—without breaking the war chest.

Ruby

A step up from the Sapphire level - ideal for elite units and key characters.


Perfect for elite units, heroes, and standout models that deserve extra attention. Our Ruby tier delivers a stunning display-level finish with layered highlights, subtle blends, and advanced techniques like OSL, glazing, freehands, and weathering. Expect true box art quality—standout models worthy of your favorite display set or the tabletop.

Pairs beautifully with custom scenic basing for a striking battlefield presence.

Diamond

La crème de la crème. The top of the heap. Pick of the bunch.
And we mean it.

Perfect for centerpiece characters, award-winning displays, or once-in-a-lifetime gifts. Each model takes 50+ hours and only our most experienced artists work on Diamond-tier projects—each with 1000+ hours behind the brush. You’ll get a miniature that for all intents and purposes is a work of art: freehands across the entire model? No problem. Reflective lighting effects on armor? Done. If you can dream it—we’ll paint it.

Painting prices
FAQ
Question:
What do the prices above represent?
Answer:
In the table above you will find estimated prices for each of our painting tiers. All the prices are given per one miniature.

These are our best estimates based on hundreds and hundreds of models that we've processed through the years - and are in most cases correct.

That's why the prices for most of model types are shown as a range, not a specific number - it's in the nature of this wonderful hobby that models of the same category can be vastly different in complexity.

Moreover, the painting instructions client provides can also affect the model price within given range, or move a model up a tier in our classification.
Question:
Would you be able to paint my models based on a reference I provide?
Answer:
Yes! We can do our best to copy an image or a physical model you provide. Most of the times we are able to achieve a 90% resemblance and that is usually quite enough to be able to use the models together in the same army with no noticeable discrepancies.
A higher level of similarity will most likely require a full color recipe and may not even be achievable under certain circumstances.
