Warcolours specializes in painting armies for wargaming. While we do paint occasionally display models of particular centerpieces for those who require it, our core business is in providing you, our customer, with an impressively painted army to game with. Differently from other painting services, we only use the best materials and especially paints which have been designed on purpose to be used in painting miniatures or high grade artist colours, and not cheap acrylic craft paints as it happens at times.
We also strive to achieve the greatest historical accuracy, meaning we will try to paint your models exactly the correct shade, and not just a generically similar colour: we have an extensive historical library to research accurately the right colours and shades and will give you all the advice you might require. Naturally you can simply email us the colours you want your soldiers to be painted with, but it is not necessary, since we will do the necessary historical research for you at no cost if you so desire.
We have decades of experience in painting miniatures and are avid gamers too, so we understand perfectly well your need for an army which is visually appealing, not exceedingly expensive, sturdy enough to handle the gaming experience and also quickly ready for the table. Our customers have won a number of "Best Painted Army" awards with armies painted by us at a number of different tournaments.
We are currently taking commissions for painting armies.
How the commission process works? Well, first of all you email us with your request at info@warcolours.net, specifying the kind of commission you are requesting in terms of scale and number of models, possibly giving us a correct breakdown of the kind of models you are sending us. We will send you an estimate of the costs and of the time needed for the completion of the order. If this is fine for you, we will need to get an advance of 30% of the total amount agreed. If we need to provide the models you will need to add their cost to the advance payment but you can buy them yourself online and have them shipped directly to our address (we will email this to you) in order to save on shipping charges.
After that we will paint one model and we will send you pictures of said model so that you can evaluate if it is according to what you expect from us and if you desire any changes. If you are not satisfied we will return your models without any charge apart from the shipping.Once you have approved the model we will complete your order, then take pictures of it and send them to you together with the payment request including the shipping charges, at cost.
Once we receive the payment your order will be shipped. In case an order will be left unpaid for longer than three months from its completion, we will retain the painted models in order to cover our costs...
After many years in this business, we have come to the conclusion that it is not really possible to determine a set price for painting a miniature figure: each figure is different and the expectations of the customer on it are his own, and rightly so. This cannot be a serial job, where a single ratio is applied indiscriminately to everything.
Therefore, aiming to offer you only the best service, we have decided to change our pricing policy in order to better tailor it to the individual needs of each customer.
If you plan to commission us a work, please ask for an estimate by emailing us at info@warcolours.net with the details of the scale, type of figures and number of figures that you would like to have painted, plus any other detail regarding your commission. Keep in mind that we can also give you advice regarding the uniforms, the list composition and historical details for most periods and for many different gaming systems.
We will determine together the level of service that you need, and every other single detail so that your commission will be treated as something really unique, as it should be.
