We got to do quite a large Beastmen army. The challenge with Beastmen is all the muscles - they need to be consistent. We often split armies between painters to help guarantee completion dates, but here we just kept it with two. Even then, at the end they needed to reconcile some differences that crept in. It was a fun miniature painting commission all the same.
In terms of colors, the green and brown offset each other. There’s plenty of both in the beastmen themselves, and the grass and brown basing helps frame it.
Freehand Banner Designs
All the banners have freehand painted designs. Don’t get excited - we hate doing freehand. It is hard to forecast: we once billed for 5 hours of freehand that ended up being 2 weeks of full-time work (that sucked, but it was our fault). The more intricate the design, the more doubtful it is that we can match it. So, wherever possible, we don’t offer it.
Now, you can’t paint a Warhammer Fantasy Army without freehand banners. We had to cowboy up and get it done. We discussed it with the client and he was good with what we could offer. He paid us well for the time, and we went for a clean, uniform, disciplined look.

Paintedfigs is a commission miniature painting service. You can send us your figurines to paint, and we also have painted miniatures for sale. We paint mainly Games Workshop (Warhammer 40k, Warhammer Fantasy, Age of Sigmar, Necromunda, Space Hulk, Bloodbowl, and so on), Star Wars, Warmachine and Hordes, and pretty much every Kickstarter and board game under the sun.
And we do so at the lowest rates on Earth (we’ve checked).
