And other miniature wargames

Click here to edit text.

This page uses Games Workshop as the primary example for wargaming commissions.
Other games like Warmachine & Hordes, Kingdom Death, Infinity, and more
will go through the same process to bring your miniatures to life!

Our Experience with Games Workshop:
We have played Games Workshop games for 10+ years.
We started with Warhammer Fantasy and Lord of the Rings.
We are competitive players and have each won a Warhammer 40k tournament.
We try to keep informed about the rules but don't get to play as much as we used to.
You can trust us to know the reason behind building and painting your models from the Warhammer and 40k Universe.

"Trust The Process"

Restoring Old Models:

We are familiar working with secondhand models
You don't get a collection as big as ours buying everything new....
If your models are built but need the paint to be stripped off, we can do it for you!
Stripping individual models would be a couple dollars but bulk stripping would be a discounted price.
The example picture above shows before and after results.

Assembly:

We can assemble your models for you.
Most wargame miniatures require assembly
Assembly includes building, cleaning off mold lines, and filling in gaps
Most infantry sized miniatures are a couple dollars each while large models like vehicles and monsters are about $25+
We can also pin large models to provide extra support if requested (This would be an additional cost)

This video shows a project where we refurbished an army to look awesome! Hence the name:
"From Rags To Righteous!"

Magnetization:

If you want to switch between arms or other options it may be possible to magnetise your options.
We usually drill a small hole inside the parts and use strong "Rare Earth Neodymium" magnets.
The Picture on the left is of a warhammer 40k project with dozens of magnetised arms.
The price for magnetising includes the price of painting those extra options! $$VALUE!!!

Customisation and Conversions:

Our Slogan is "Your Realm to Imagine, ours to Create" for a reason!
If you want your models extra special we can make customisation for you.
Whether its creating an awesome sword for your Warlord or adding a cape to your hero, we have extra bits around the studio to make this come true. If not we will find them online.
For conversions we usually use an existing model as the base.

It would be best to give us a budget for these projects but if it is a small addition like a sword or cape it is probably a couple dollars.
The example on the left is a counts as Kharybdis Assualt Claw we built from scratch. Pretty metal am I right \m/

PAINTING

Table-Top Plus- Same as table top but includes models with more details then average or have extra effects added to them. (see additional painting options below)
Character- Model's quality is significantly enhanced. Perfect for Heroes that you want to stand out.
Character Plus- Model's details are enhanced even further. Extra effects will be added.

BASING

To fully appreciate a painted model a well made base really brings it to life.

Having themed basing like a forest for a wood elf or a bloody battlefield for a chaos space marine gives a dynamic look to an army and really sets it apart!

Basing Levels Description:

No basing (ex: Black)
Basic -Pre-Coloured Gravel (brown, grey) with grass flock (green, dark green, yellow)
Standard -Painted Fine Gravel (any colour) with grass flock (same as above) & or Snow
Scenic- Themed Basing such as Mars cracked earth, Lava, Forest, Mountain Peaks, etc
Spectacular - Very Special base! More like a diorama then a base. The examples in the pictures below speak for themselves.

Additional information

Basic Basing is included in the price of painting but only recommended to suit our "basic level" painting quality. Why not pay a few dollars to upgrade to standard, its worth the difference!
Bulk Basing Discounts may apply for Any Quality.
Spectacular Basing Prices are on a case by case basis.
The prices for Basing Scenic Basing varies based on theme. That is why prices are listed at $2+ for example.
