Commission Painting

Painting The Hunters 2114 AD Boardgame

The Hunters AD 2114 is a post-apocalypse boardgame where players take down robot animal monsters that make a nuisance of themselves. The figures (and premise) remind me of Horizon 0 Dawn.

Also — robot Gorillas. Where else are you going to see robot Gorillas?

These were painted to Exhibition Quality.

40k: Painting Orange Tyranids!

An unusual scheme we were asked to do. That’s a lot of orange! Reminds me of the “shock value” Tyranid schemes I’d see back in the day.

These were painted to Exhibition quality.

Necromunda: These Goliaths are Feeling a Bit Blue...

This was a fun one. The client gave us the color scheme.

We’d not done this sort of pallid, zombie-like skin tone on a gang before, except maybe the Delaques. It worked welll on these, offsetting the dark tones. The brown in the amor in turn played well against the electric blue.

These were painted mainly to Showcase Quality.

We Got to Paint Gotham City Chronicles, Season 3

It was nice to see the return of Gotham City Chronicles minis to the studio. Season 3 has some nice stuff. My favorites are the rocket penguins - this needs no justifying.

Some Battletech Mercenaries Miniature Painting Service

Here we got to do a set of Battletech Mercenaries. Quite a bit of fun, new machines. It’s great that Catalyst Game Labs is doing so much for the IP.

These were done to Showcase Quality.

About Battletech:

BattleTech is a tabletop wargame that simulates combat between giant robots called "BattleMechs." The game was first published in the 1980s by FASA Corporation - with, shall we say, GREAT INSPIRATION drawn from Harmony Gold's Macross/Robotech?

All the new, high-detail hotness for Battletech now is coming from Catalyst Game Labs.

In BattleTech, players control a lance of BattleMechs and engage in combat with their opponents' lances. Each player has a certain number of points to spend on their lance, which they can use to purchase different types of BattleMechs, vehicles, and other support units.

BattleTech is known for its complex gameplay, deep lore, and for getting FASA sued by Harmony Gold. The game has a large and dedicated fan base and has inspired a number of spin-off games and other media. I look forward to Battletech for years to come.

3D Print Your Army with Us, for Next to Nothing

Paying more than a dollar for a Space Marine?
We don’t.

As long as we’re hired to paint them, we’ll 3d print your miniatures for next to nothing.

We don’t mind - our business is the painting. If we can lower the cost of miniatures for you, everyone wins.

our 3d Printing Rates:

“troop” miniature - $0.60

primaris proxy - $0.72

D&D Character - $0.78

RHINO PROXY - $4.39

Not-Land raider - $6.00

No one can beat that.

That’s because they’re in the printing business. We, however, are in the painting business. This allows us to charge low printing rates and not care.

Or pay extra, for printing in stronger “ABS-like” resin:

For stronger, “ABS-LIKE” Prints:

Invest in shatter resistance:

“troop” miniature - $1.40

primaris proxy - $1.68

D&D Character - $1.82

RHINO PROXY - $10.24

Not-Land raider - $13.99


so, how do i get my minis 3d printed by you?

1 - You send us links of what you’d like us to print and paint.
We estimate the cost.

2 - You send us the 3d files.
We print them for your personal use.

3 - We paint them and send them to you.

where do i find 3d files of minis?

We recommend MyMiniFactory. You can also try Cults3d and Yeggi.


benefits to YOU from printing:

  • More bang for your buck. For a bit more than the cost of the 3d files, you get an army.

  • Cheaper shipping. The miniatures are only shipping one-way; to you.

  • Free repair. If any minis arrive damaged, we’ll reprint and paint them, on the house.

How to “Skip” the Line and Get Painting Every Month

One day, a client ordered less painting than usual.

He then asked if he could know when the next month opened up. I said sure, and I did.

He then placed another similar sized order. Again, he asked to be told when the following month’s schedule opened up.

He then did the same. Again, and again, and again.

After a few months, he was getting a regular, monthly supply. I called this ‘pipelining.’ Other clients started doing it, too. Instead of paying the premium for priority, they set aside a monthly budget and for the most part kept to it. This gets them both better rates and better access.

Pipelining for “Immediate” Access

It doesn’t matter what is booked. Only that capacity to do some painting, has been booked.

You may book some Marvel United. However, when the time comes, if you ask us to paint your shrinkwrap-fresh Death Korps instead, we will. As long as the capacity needed is about the same, it is not a problem.

In this way, pipeline clients have been getting “trending” minis painted, without having to add them to the back of the queue.

How to Pipeline

  • Email us and ask us to add you to the list. When the next month opens for bookings, you will be notified first.

  • If you wish, place an order. Try to pick a volume you wouldn’t mind having to shell out, once or even twice a month. This is not a subscription; there is no pressure to order. The pipe can be as full or dry as you want to make it.

And that’s it!

To Support Pipelining, We Discontinued Priority

Everyone likes better access, but not everyone was happy to pay more for the same quality of painting. Setting aside capacity for Priority was aggravating the wait time for most clients, not improving it.

We also noticed pipelining clients don’t pay for priority - because they don’t need to.

So, we’ve discontinued priority (if you already have a priority order please don’t worry, you are fine. We are just not taking new priority orders). That capacity has gone back into the general pool. This is good for everyone — especially pipeliners.

Sign Up Below to be Alerted When A New Month Opens for Bookings:

Blood and Crown: 100 Years War French and English Painted for an Agincourt Thrashing

These were a fun change of pace. Not just because they weren’t Sci-Fi / Fantasy, but also because we had to work on the heraldry of the various nobles. All of it freehand painted.

If you can find all of these used below, you will win a fleur de lys, only slightly used:

“Your mother was a hamster…”

We Painted Some Weird Minis for a Glorantha event at GenCon

I see a LOT of minis in this business. One of the ‘parlor tricks’ I like to do at work is telling people exactly what obscure manufacturer has made such and such a sculpt (the look of awe I get is the stuff of chef’s kiss emojis).

So, I feel it says something, that I recognized none of the minis sent in this set. They’re being used as proxies for a Glorantha game. They are strange, large, and quite wonderful. The same client sent us another set, just as unusual, not long ago. Those also were proxies for Glorantha.

He’ll be taking them to GenCon!

These were done at all three quality levels.

Age of Sigmar: Some Blades of Khorne Painting

Some Blades of Khorne painting. Just some reinforcements for a client’s army.

Karanak came out with a fair amount of presence (must be the three heads) as did the Skulltaker. The Bloodletters were relatively bright which made for a strong contrast with the rest of the force.

The basing of course unifies the lot.

40k: The Most Unusual-looking Tyranids We've Ever Painted

I have a Tyranid army that I am quite fond of. It is, if I may say so, the Tyranid of someone who’s run a painting service for 20 years. I cuddle it a night. We go for long walks together. We go out for bioplasma in the park.

Then, we were asked to match the color scheme you see here. Someone else’s strange and inventive take on Hive Fleet Behemoth.

The result? Well, I still love my Tyranid army. Yet, like any Asian parent, I prefer one child over the other.

These were painted to Showcase and Exhibition quality.

40k: Here come the Elysian Drop Troops!

Even in their heyday, we didn’t see Elysians very often. We might have done 2 or 3 armies, tops.

It was nice then to see this army turn up. It also came with quite a number of flyers: proper air cavalry.

These were painted to Exhibition quality.

Something different: We Printed and Painted some Book Nooks!

These are for a client’s special project (hint: books are involved). He sent us some lovely 3d files. We filament printed them - they’re HUGE!

Painting these required larger brushes. House painting brushes. This wasn’t an issue; painting is painting. It was a good exercise getting used to working with larger brushes though.

Conquest Last Argument of Kings: Wadrhun and Feathered Dinosaurs!

Conquest: Last Argument of Kings has no shortage of mad, fantastic models. Their Wadrhun army are dominated by big hulking buggers and dinosaurs. If you want a squad of velociraptors, they have them.

I’m tempted to get some to use as mounts for 15mm scale trouble makers.

Warhammer Old World: An Empire Altdorf Army

When we last painted an Empire army, I was a young man.

Not balding. Not tire-shaped. Stronger eyes. And no one liked GW.

Some things don’t change I guess: like how awesome Empire armies are. This one is a mix of old, metal figures, returned-to-the-world plastic ones, and even some Mordheim sculpts. I loved watching this one take shape. It was like seeing an old friend again.

These were all done to , Showcase quality.

Cities of Sigmar: Freeguild Painted for Age of Sigmar

Freeguild minis are nuts. One one level, its stuff that makes no sense; like bayonets attached to what seem to be arquebuses. On the other, its Mordheim-y touches like skulls hanging off harnesses.

I love the Mordheim feel. Its an intersection of unpleasantness, fascination, and Monty Python logic and charm.

40k: in 20 Years painting these are our first ever Tallarns

We’ve been painting IG since they used to be IG.
Cadians. Elysians. Catachans.
Krieg, Mordians, Praetorians.
Rogue Trader Warriors. Penal Legion. Those really old Stormtroopers in the berets.

Yet, we’ve never done Tallarns before. These are the first. They’re mostly conversions and proxies, but that’s good enough for Imperial Government work.
