Painting

Welcome to the painting studio. Below is a detailed schedule of our prices. Please be aware that these prices provide an estimation on the total project cost and the actual price may be lower or higher depending on complexity, size, and possibly discounts based on repeat patronage. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact the Evil Cat team at evilcatpainting.com.

Generally we are reserving space for minimum commission size of 200$ or more. In exceptional circumstances we will accept smaller commissions (time / personal project dependent).

Assembly/Cleaning:

Army assembly is a straight 25% additional surcharge to the final quote. Therefore, if your painting quote for a commission is 300$ and you want the army assembled as well, then the final quote would be 375$. Of course, this is only an estimate, and will change depending if some of the models are provided pre-assembled.

If pre-assembled models are provided but require further work (filing, mould line removal), then an additional surcharge will apply similar to the assembly fee (10-15%).

In extreme circumstances an additional surcharge for painting difficulty, for example some models can be extremely difficult to effectively paint if they are provided assembled (e.g. Skullcannon of Khorne, Heldrake), so please keep this in mind. As well, if yellow/white is a primary colour required on the majority of the army, then similarly the final quote may reflect this additional cost (white and yellow are really hard to get perfect).

Magnetizing:

Quotes for this will be on a per-model basis depending on what the request is.
