Best for Large armies, bulk orders, or strict budgets

This is the fastest and most affordable option, focused purely on getting color onto the model.

• Basic basecoats only

• No shading, highlights, or detailing

• No basing

• Minimal cleanup beyond priming

The result is similar to factory pre-painted miniatures—functional, readable on the table, but not visually striking up close.

Best for: Budget-conscious players who still want some depth

A step up using the popular “slapchop” method for quick contrast and definition.

• Basecoats with light drybrushing or contrast-style shading

• Limited highlights

• Minimal detailing

• No or very basic basing

This gives you solid tabletop quality with visible depth, without the cost of full detailing. Great for armies where you want them to look good—but not spend heavily per model.

Best for: Most customers, balanced quality and price

This is the baseline for a clean, professional finish that looks great both on the table and in photos.

• Basecoats + washes for shading and depth

• Targeted highlights on key areas

• Clean, readable details

• Simple basing

• Sealed with protective varnish

This level delivers that “this looks really good” reaction without pushing into display-level pricing. It’s where quality and efficiency meet.

Best for: Centerpieces, characters, and display-adjacent models

Here’s where the model starts to stand out—not just on the table, but when you pick it up.

• Everything in Level 3, with:

• Stronger highlights and smoother transitions

• Sharper edge work and improved contrast

• Full attention to smaller details (faces, accessories, textures)

• Upgraded basing

• Protective varnish

This tier holds up well under close inspection and is ideal for models you want to showcase in your collection.

Best for: Display pieces, collectors, and competition-level work

This is the highest level of craftsmanship we offer—focused on artistry, precision, and uniqueness.

• Everything in Level 4, plus:

• Advanced techniques (blending, glazing, NMM, OSL where appropriate)

• Custom freehand designs, symbols, or patterns

• Maximum attention to detail across the entire model

• Optional upgraded or custom basing

This is true showcase quality—the kind of piece you’d expect to see in a display cabinet or painting competition.
