Perfect choice for the main bulk of an army - your troops, beasts, swarms.



We guarantee professional results, smooth coats and attention to detail with the Sapphire painting tier that will take care of all edge highlighting, lenses, visors, screens, buttons and other small details, all painted and highlighted to a professional level.


In all cases, bare faces will have highlights and shading completed, along with fully painted details like eyes, facial hair, teeth & tongues when required. We will be adding text onto purity seals, reliquaries, and scrolls that require additional attention.





Ruby

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



The Ruby painting tier gives your miniatures a superior display finish, like the one you would find on a box art of a high-end hobby manufacturer. You can expect multiple levels of meticulous highlighting on each colour.


Also, additional time spent on the Ruby tier model will allow for even more sophisticated and extensive use of advanced techniques such as OSL, glazing, layering, freehands and weathering, ensuring that this model will be unmatched on any tabletop.

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.
