About my prices

The prices listed above are guideline examples for my commission miniature painting services. Final model painting pricing depends on the size of the miniature, level of detail required, complexity of the sculpt, and the desired finish — whether tabletop standard, high-end gaming quality, or display-quality painting.


All commission painting rates are based on the client supplying the miniature or model. However, I can also help source and purchase miniatures on request. If you need assistance acquiring specific Warhammer models, fantasy miniatures, or sci-fi tabletop miniatures, just let me know.
Some ranges, particularly highly detailed Warhammer sculpts (yes, Chaos armies!),  require significantly more time due to intricate armour trim, textures, and layered detail. Even miniatures of similar height can vary in cost if they include complex elements that require individual, precision painting.

Please note:
I do not offer discounted rates for bulk army painting commissions as all projects are priced according to the time and skill required.
Miniatures with extensive detailing, freehand work, weathering, or advanced effects may cost more than simpler models of the same size.
Proper miniature care is essential. Store your painted models in protective cases, handle with clean hands, hold by the base, and avoid dropping them to preserve the finish.

Shipping

I have customers all over the world and are happy to offer international shipping. I package my works using a variety of boxes, bubble wraps, air bags and foam to give them the best chance at safe travel and I have a high success rate.

As my models are singular creations, I cannot ship replacements should they be mishandled. I strongly recommend that customers get shipping insurance to cover transit issues.
