Miniature Painting Commission Guide

A painting commission is best when expectations are clear before paint touches the model. This guide explains what to prepare and how to make the process smoother.

Before ordering

  • Choose the miniature or send the model details clearly.
  • Share reference images, colors, character art, or HeroForge-style links when available.
  • Mention whether you want progress photos or prefer the final result as a surprise.
  • Allow extra time for batches, large models, display pieces, and detailed requests.

Shipping and assembly notes

Some miniatures are safest when shipped or handled in parts. Assembly, repair, priming, and transport choices depend on model size, fragility, and final use.

Good painting brief

A good brief says what matters most: tabletop-ready speed, display quality, exact character colors, weathering, basing, or matching an existing party.
