Add-on only

Colour Scheme Design

Not sure what colours to use for your commission? We'll work with you to design a cohesive, striking colour scheme that fits your vision and looks great on the table. We provide colour references and painted test models so you can approve the scheme before committing to a full commission.

Add-on only

3D Print Sourcing

Want a custom miniature printed to your specifications? We work with trusted 3D printing partners to source and print high-quality resin miniatures and bits — from STL files you provide to custom designs sourced on your behalf.

Add-on only

Converting & Kitbashing

Kitbashing example - Chaos Character

Give your army a truly unique identity. Our painters are experienced converters who combine parts from different kits, or modify existing models, to create one-of-a-kind pieces that stand out on the tabletop and in the display cabinet.

Add-on only

Freehand

Freehand example - painted wings with skulls

True freehand painting is one of the rarest and most impressive skills in miniature painting. Our artists paint intricate designs, patterns, symbols, and artwork directly onto your models — no decals, no transfers. From chapter markings and heraldry to elaborate murals on wings, cloaks, and banners, freehand transforms a great model into a singular piece of art.

Add-on only · Silver tier or above

Custom Basing

Custom Basing example - Ork on Shark

The base is the foundation of every great miniature and a well-crafted base tells a story all on its own. We offer elaborate custom basing as a standalone service or as an upgrade to any commission. From simple textured bases to elaborate scenic dioramas with water effects, foliage, ruins, and custom resin inserts, we'll create a base that perfectly complements your model and brings your vision to life.
