Siege Studios

Siege Studios, commission miniature painting in the United Kingdom

Siege Studios is a commission miniature painting studio that presents itself as a premium, professional service based in the United Kingdom. The company was established in February 2013 and approaches its work as personal, close support for the client throughout the entire project, aimed at bringing creative ideas for wargaming miniatures to life.

Four painting levels according to finish

The studio organises its main offering into four levels, with a minimum quality that the company itself places above the industry standard:

• Platinum (competition quality): handled only by the senior team, made up of competition winners and industry professionals.
• Gold (high display quality): meticulous attention to each model, intended for characters, captains and centrepiece figures in a collection.
• Silver (display quality): several stages of highlights and more time devoted to all details, with a finish suitable for gaming and display.
• Bronze (premium gaming): models with all details painted to a clean, fully highlighted finish.

Custom Service: unique characters

Within its catalogue, Custom Service functions as the studio's bespoke character creation line, designed for those who want to add an exclusive figure to their collection. It is offered as a service distinct from the four painting levels.

Warrior Workshop and complementary services

Warrior Workshop is presented as a tabletop alternative to the studio's usual painting levels. Alongside this, Siege Studios details other work that can accompany a commission: miniature cleaning and assembly, conversion and sculpting, freehand painting and banners, and basing. The company also offers tuition and maintains a blog.

Own shop and resources for painters

The site includes an online shop with merchandise, online painting classes, painting accessories, PDF tutorials, miniatures, gift vouchers and themed packs. The catalogue showed, among other items, the studio's dice in ten colours, a branded hoodie and T-shirt, a painting notebook, a gift voucher ranging from £5 to £250 and several tutorial and material bundles. The website also announces access to a free masterclass and benefits for newsletter subscribers, such as exclusive discounts, early release of class tickets and reveals of completed commissions.

Recognition in the industry

The site features testimonials from profiles linked to the hobby and tabletop games, including co-founders of MiniWarGaming, the creative director of Tabletop Tactics, the founder of Vanguard Tactics and content creator Luetin09, who highlight the quality of the work and attention to detail. These are opinions attributed to those individuals on the company's own website.
