Kill Team Commission Painting Service

Your Kill Team painted so that every operative has its own personality — within a shared, instantly recognisable visual identity.

Kill Team is the ideal format for investing in high-quality painting: fewer miniatures, bags of character and a level of detail that can be fully exploited. Every operative in your kill team receives individual treatment — faces, materials, distinguishing markings — within a coherent colour scheme that makes the whole team unmistakable on the table.

Every faction and boxed set is covered: Kasrkin, Hierotek Circle, Hand of the Archon, Hunter Clade, Phobos Strike Team, Veteran Guardsmen, Pathfinders, Blades of Khaine and all current official kill teams, as well as mixed rosters and custom conversions. Basing can follow the style of the boxed game, incorporate thematic terrain or be built as a small narrative scene that tells the story of the team.

This format is perfect for clients who want to experience display-level work without committing to a full army, or for collectors who enjoy having beautifully detailed, near-exhibition-quality teams in their display cabinet.

Benefits

Why commission your Kill Team with us

A well-painted kill team elevates the gaming experience and becomes a collectible piece in its own right.

Every operative is recognisably unique

Small details — scars, armour damage, squad specialisms — are personalised so each operative has its own story within the team, visible at a glance across the table.

A shared visual identity that reads instantly

A palette and a set of visual codes run consistently through the whole team, making the force instantly recognisable on the tabletop from the first moment it's deployed.

Higher finishing levels within a sensible budget

With fewer miniatures in the project, the finishing level can be pushed higher without the budget spiralling — reaching competition standard if that is your goal.

Thematic basing that places the team in its environment

Urban rubble, ruined corridors, spaceship interiors, dense jungle, tundra or Chaos-corrupted ground — your team is placed in the setting it operates in, adding narrative depth to every game.

Matching markers and tokens

Objective markers, tokens and additional bases can be painted to match the team, keeping the entire Kill Team set visually consistent on the table.

Faster turnaround than a full army

A small model count means your team is ready in weeks rather than months — ideal for fitting around upcoming tournaments and local events.

The most accessible entry point for display-level painting

Kill Team is the most practical way to experience the highest tier of painting without taking on the cost of an entire army commission.

Careful packaging that protects detailed bases

Detailed bases and small resin parts travel in boxes with purpose-cut technical foam so the team arrives exactly as it left the studio.

How a Kill Team commission comes together

The process starts by establishing the faction and the narrative context: a rapid-insertion strike team, a cult cell, an Aeldari warband or a squad of hardened Astra Militarum veterans? That narrative frames the choice of colours, markings and individual details that make each operative recognisable on the table.

Together the finishing tier is agreed — tabletop plus, display or competition. In most cases display is recommended, since the modest additional investment per miniature delivers a dramatically superior result. For teams destined for a tournament or painting contest, individual pieces — the leader or the key specialist — can be elevated to competition standard to anchor the overall presentation.

Painting proceeds operative by operative, with photographic quality checks at the end of the process. Once finished, the team is photographed in studio and shipped in packaging designed for painted miniatures with detailed basing — the most vulnerable pieces during transit.

Frequently asked questions about Kill Team commissions

Do you paint every official Kill Team?

Yes — all current and legacy official kill teams, plus custom composite rosters and bespoke conversions.

How long does a Kill Team commission take?

A kill team of around 10–14 operatives at display level is typically ready within a few weeks, depending on complexity and the current studio schedule.

Can you paint matching markers and tokens?

Yes. Objective markers, tokens and additional bases can be painted to match the team, keeping everything visually cohesive on the tabletop.

Do you accept Kill Team-specific conversions?

Yes. Conversions, magnetisation and kitbashing are all available to make your leader or specialists genuinely one-of-a-kind.

Can I have just the leader painted at competition level?

Absolutely. It is very common to bring the leader or the most prominent piece up one tier while keeping the rest of the team at display level.

Do you ship to Europe?

Yes — to Spain and to the vast majority of European countries, with specialist packaging for painted miniatures and detailed basing.
