I rather like the models from Blackstone Fortress; they are distinctive, detailed, and a little disturbing. This move towards figures with stronger character is an encouraging shift for 40k miniatures. They’ve been at it for some time now, and whoever is responsible is being listened to :) .
The new figures that come with the Blackstone Fortress Escalation expansion are particularly charming. We won a painting commission to work on the set, along with a Traitor Command and an Ambull.
Here is what we did. The miniature painting service level on these was Exhibition.
Paintedfigs is a commission miniature painting service. You can send us your figurines to paint, and we also have painted miniatures for sale. We paint mainly Games Workshop (Warhammer 40k, Warhammer Fantasy, Age of Sigmar, Necromunda, Space Hulk, Bloodbowl, and so on), Star Wars, Warmachine and Hordes, and pretty much every Kickstarter and board game under the sun.
And we do so at the lowest rates on Earth (we’ve checked).
