Painting Levels

🎨 Tabletop Standard

Our Tabletop Standard level is perfect for players who want their armies looking sharp and cohesive on the battlefield. See examples of base units all across this website for what my standard is for rank and file.  Each model is painted with:

  • Full basecoats across all key details (armor, cloth, skin, weapons, etc.)
  • Shading & minor highlighting using washes and layering to create depth
  • Clean details, weapon edges, and banners picked out clearly
  • Textured bases that match your army’s theme (grass, stone, snow, desert, etc.)

This standard ensures your army looks polished, uniform, and impressive on the tabletop, while still being affordable for full regiments and large forces.

✨ Showcase

For players and collectors who want their miniatures to stand out, our Showcase level offers higher detail and refinement. Each model includes:

  • Advanced layering and edge highlights for crisp definition and color pop
  • Blended shading for smoother transitions and richer depth
  • Detailed accents such as eyes, gems, freehand insignias, tattoos, or intricate weapon effects
  • Upgraded bases with multiple textures, flock, or scenic elements for more realism

Showcase is ideal for heroes, centerpiece monsters, or elite units that need extra character and impact while still blending seamlessly with a full army.

🏆 Display / Competition

In a full size army, this level is not necessarily needed.  Maybe one or two models might want at this level.  I've won top 3 best painted armies in many tournaments with the entire army not really included this level of painting.  The above 2 levels are primarily what I like to paint in as full size armies are much more enjoyable to me then the crazy amount of time display / competition level painting takes for a single model.  That being said:

Our Display / Competition tier is for collectors, tournament armies, or centerpiece models that demand the absolute highest quality. This level includes:

  • Meticulous blending & glazing for near-seamless transitions
  • Advanced techniques such as Non-Metallic Metal (NMM), Object Source Lighting (OSL), weathering, and battle damage
  • Intricate freehand designs on banners, cloaks, or shields
  • Custom scenic bases with layered terrain, resin effects, and storytelling details

This standard is best suited for showpieces, competition entries, or one-of-a-kind models where every detail tells a story and the miniature becomes a display work of art.

I offer a professionally painted miniature service at reasonable prices.  Simply email me at: paint@paintedforbattle.com and we will get back to you with a price quote right away.

Please include the name and number of each model you would like commission painted.  Any other details you want to include on paint colors, theme, etc.  Let me know if you own the models or would want me to order them.  Typically, I can give 20% off retail for standard GW products.  The older fantasy models are fun trying to acquire and I love refurbishing someone else's slopped up models and turning them into beautiful armies.
