Pricing Overview
The long and the short of it is this, the more effort something will take the more it will cost
We will paint anything. Pricing is based on the Australian Recommended Retail Price (RRP) of Warhammer/Games-Workshop models, which will give you a good idea of how we price things.
Base Pricing
$ Tabletop level:
starts at the RRP of the model
Tabletop level is designed for army play, D&D minions, and is focused on clean and cohesive results. For a standard tabletop service, you can expect to pay the Australian suggested retail price for the box of your Warhammer/Games-Workshop model.
However, for example, painting a single "Be'lakor" model would start at the character level at only the cost of the box.
$$ Character level:
starts at a minimum of 2x RRP
Character-level detailing is the most popular choice among customers and is the standard I typically use for painting my own models. It offers a noticeable boost in detail and vibrancy, while still being cost-effective. This option is great for something that you are going to be using often or, as a gift, they have been used as gifts for family members, as player character models, personalized skirmish teams like Bloodbowl and Kill Team
$$$ - $$$$$ Showcase level:
price based on the time and complexity
Showcase-level detailing is the ultimate show-stopper. Its cost reflects the level of detail and attention it requires. This level is ideal for models like Age of Sigmar centrepieces, Primarchs or your BBEG (Big Bad End Guy). But the end result will be worth it, and the results will speak for themselves. As an example, we have done Primarchs, Greater Demons, and even a Thunder Hawk Gunship at these levels.
Extras and Options
$ - $$$ Out of Print/Rare:
Priced appropriately according to rarity
and difficulty
Is your model?
Out of print
Produced by another manufacturer?
Part of a boxed set (starters and army sets)
We try and price models appropriately, as an example army sets are often significantly discounted from their standard prices. So, we would not price a whole army based of the price of the starter. If your model is out of print, we will try and quote based off current prices. If it’s extremely rare, pricing may increase due to the added risk. Our goal is always to be fair with our pricing.
$ - $$ Advanced Schemes:
White next to black, yellow majority armies
and so on
Does your vision include?
White, Yellow, or Orange next to black
Fluorescent finishes
Non-Metallic Metal (NMM) or other specialised effects
All white models, Non-metallic metal, and fluorescent colours often require extra work extra layering, preparation, or refinement to achieve the results you want. As a result, they may increase the final cost depending on the model and level of detail required. However, if it a small thing such as I want the tip of the feather to become so bright its fluro, or something of this nature, it will usually be covered in the level of expense such as character level.
$ - $$$ Customisation and effects: Customisation, True Grimdark real feathers/fur, and so on
Does your vision include?
True Grim Dark using Real Feathers and Fur on the model
Customisation requiring non-standard parts or modelling work (greenstuff/milliput)
The use of nonstandard materials, such as guitar strings, etching brass and so on
Some customisation requests are straightforward, such as adding a trail of smoke from a gun. Others, such as water effects, are more complex and carry a higher degree of risk, and as such the cost will be at least the price of the item such as resins for water effects. The increase in cost will depend on the increased risk and the cost of the items required as well as the skill needed to use such items.
Our prices are
All inclusive
We don’t have add-ons such Basing + and Basing +++ we include everything in our estimates. We like to have a single price because it feels more honest and honestly, I don’t like messing around with the money side of things.
So, if you are looking for the best value for money, we suggest you look elsewhere. Many of our clients believe we under value ourselves, but we value our clients. Time spent on time wasters is time taken from them and we value our clients too much for their time to be wasted too.
We produce individualized pieces of art for people, we are proud of everything we do, we are not a factory. As such we pride ourselves on our attention to detail and helping our customers vision come to life.
Our goal, is to see your vision come to life
