Why Should I Consider a Commission Paint Job with the Frontline Gaming Paint Studio?
There is a stark reality when in comes to the models in your collection. You either have the time to paint and play or, like many people, you end up with a pile of unpainted plastic that you wish you could bring to the tabletop. This is very common. Here's how it usually goes:
You get hyped about that new release, new competitive list, or bit of narrative that has just dropped. Or you are inspired to create a new character. But then the reality sets in that you simply don't have the time to paint everything, and certainly not to the standard you probably imagined in a timely manner. So that dream dies on the shelf in a cardboard box.
Sound familiar? This is such a common occurrence that it's pretty much a meme when it comes to tabletop gaming and roleplaying.
But it doesn't have to be this way. Many people overlook the option of a commission paint job because it's perceived as being too expensive or financially inaccessible. That's where we come in. The Frontline Gaming Studio provides the scale to be able to take on your job in a time efficient and cost effective manner. Your commission paint job, and that army you're daydreaming about, is way more likely than you probably think.
With us, you get expert attention tailored to your project goals with a price that appropriately aligns with your desired painting standard.

"The models arrived yesterday, all safe and sound. Excellent job as always. Exactly what I have come to expect from the Painting Studio. Thank you for your amazing communication through the process. Thank you!"
Matthew
"I just received my order and it is jaw-droppingly perfect. No damage from shipping and the paint scheme is beautiful and very complicated (the order was for a huge Harlequins army so it must have been a lot of work that could have easily been damaged during shipping if not for really thorough packaging and obviously it was super hard to paint with all the checkers, masque symbols, and beautiful highlights).
The price was reasonable and communication was very detailed and responsive. I placed my order right in the middle of the pandemic and throughout all the craziness (including GW being shut down and out of stock) I was constantly receiving emails and updates including notifications for any sort of delay, whether it be due to trouble getting models, paint supplies, or anything else.
Even throughout the pandemic I was offered lots of optional alternatives to tweak my order to compensate for outside issues and get my order faster but ultimately I told them I was happy to wait and ended up with exactly the army I wanted. I literally could not be happier and will be using their services again."
Kyle R. Sutliff
"Wow, to say the FLG team delivered would be an understatement. I had some many conflicting concepts involved in my Yncarne commission request, and yet the artist was still able to take all of it and combine it into something more amazing than I had even imagined. Rates were so good compared to other groups, quality and execution incredible, and responsiveness was top notch. Updates came regularly throughout the entire process, and I never waited more than an hour or two before getting a response. I was looking for a truly professional group that did outstanding work, and was not disappointed. Will definitely use FLG again, and would highly recommend everyone should give them a try for your next commission work"
Mark
"I’m impressed with the quality models after receiving these and they look especially great in person. I also appreciate the additional flexibility you provided when I requested to upgrade the paint level mid-way through the process along with you being flexible about having multiple artists work on them until the units came out like I had envisioned. Your communication was great through everything. Hope to commission more work from your group in the future."
Shaun
"Overall, the painting service was getting exactly what I expected from the website - prices were clear, timelines were communicated, quality was what I paid for. What the website doesn’t tell you, though, is that their communication and responsiveness is superb. I don’t think I ever had to wait more than a few hours for a response to an e-mail. I’d recommend the service without reservation."
Ryan S
"The models showed up today, all safe and sound. They look absolutely amazing and I am very happy with how they turned out. This project solidified Frontline as my go-to company for any and all commission work. I can’t wait to have my next project lined up. Thank you again."
Jacob
"Just received the model today. Didn’t even open it before I gave it to my brother. When he opened it my jaw dropped. It looks so much more amazing in person. I can’t get over how little justice the pictures did. Please let the the artist know how impressed we are and to keep the formula well be ordering more in the same paint scheme. Thanks!"

Payment
When purchasing the models through Frontline Gaming, we require payment in full for all product up front. Product is fully refundable up until labor begins, at which point it is no longer refundable (as we cannot use it once it is out of the box and assembly has begun) but we will of course ship it to you once shipping for the product has been paid.
For projects $750.00 and under, we require half of the labor costs up front as a deposit to begin work, and half upon completion of the project, prior to shipment of the final product.
For projects over $750 we can break the project up into as many as 4 payments due at predetermined dates.
We accept Credit Cards, Money Orders, and Cash paid in-store. We do not accept personal checks.
Paint Standards
Tournament Standard: Our most affordable level of painting. Tournament Standard gets an army to exactly that: a Tournament Standard and based. This paint level features a base color and 2-4 base coat colors including a wash for metallics. This paint level features a minimum of detail work and no highlighting. However, these commissions tend to price out at roughly half of what it costs for the Tabletop Standard and get you an army ready to play quickly and affordably. If you enjoy painting but are short on time, this is a great way to get an army cleaned, built and base coated, allowing you to do the fun parts: highlighting and detailing. Alternatively, the Tournament Standard can be a great start for an army and at a later date, you can send it back to us to bring it up to a higher paint standard at a discounted price.
Image above features level 3 basing.
Tabletop Standard OUR BEST VALUE! Tabletop standard paint jobs feature a clean base-coat, detail work and 1-2 levels of highlighting per base color. Tabletop standard includes detail work such as eyes and accessories. We sometimes dip models at this level or airbrush layers and add a wash as appropriate to the aesthetic of the model in question. These models look great for the table-top at a very affordable price.
Masterclass We offer a Masterclass Paint Service for the exceptional models in your collection. These projects are usually reserved for single models and are painted by our best painters to the limit of their skill. The end result is a display quality miniature that will be the highlight of your collection. These models take several days to paint, and as such we have to charge a premium. Each project is priced individually.
Basing Levels
Level 1 basing is a simple, single material basing. Typically this will be sand, grass, etc. You can choose to have no basing, which is obviously free of charge.
Level 2 basing consists of 2-3 types of basing material, and simple paint work to set it off.
Level 3 basing features a minimum of 3 types of basing material, may include custom bits, extensive paint work and detail work to set them apart from the norm.
You may also request no basing if you prefer to do it yourself!
Magnetization
Magnetizing your models is a great way to get the most out of each kit. You can swap weapon load outs to totally change the way a model plays and get more mileage out of your army! This helps to keep things fresh and to make adjustments after the army is painted without having to get an entirely new model painted.
We charge a flat rate of $1 per magnet used, which covers material and labor. Please remember, that is per magnet and you will typically need to consider the mount magnet and the magnet on each optional piece. So, for example, to magnetize a tank and two weapons would be $3.00. $1 for the mount, $1 for each weapon.
Painting All Options in a Kit
Often clients ask us to paint all options in a given kit. For example, a client may want all of the weapons in a Crisis Suit Team to be painted so they can switch them out, or all the options in a Leman Russ kit, etc. This takes a lot of additional labor and so we charge an additional 50% over the standard cost of painting and assembly/cleaning the model.
White and Yellow Fees
We charge an additional fee for painting models where the primary color is yellow or white. This is due to the extra time needed to paint these colors and is a separate cost listed in the cost spreadsheets.
