Briefing
We put a great attention not only to painting itself, but also to the preparation phase, to assure you that the final effect will be exactly as you imagined. In briefing phase we will identify your vision about miniature – character and style you would like achieve. Even of you do not have any specific ideas we will be happy to propose our own ideas. At the end you will receive short description of planned work and agreed color scheme or stylesheet.
Painting service
Many painters are offering different kinds of complexity and details, known as painting levels. At Figartes we are always giving as much we can to meet the quality you expect and time when you need your models. Because of that we mostly only two kinds of painting standards.
For units/squads as a part of bigger armies we paint models at our army standard:

Painted by: Kuczek & Szary
But if you interested in something special we can prepare some really high-end models at level of showcase. This kind of painting is reserved only for single models and often includes reworking models, complicated freehands, OSL, weathering and many more techniques, i.e:
The main idea was to correspond to the Eavy Metal version made by Darren Latham (Razza).
I had to include a freehand celtic pattern made as this one by Joe Tomaszewski (Brokenblade) on his M.C. :

Great congrats to him, as it`s a true pain to paint...

That was my entry for Golden Demon Poland 2008.
The concept went from history of Harelquins who are the most mysterious amongst all Eldars. I fought, that if they are living and traveling through the Webway all the time, some of them will have warped minds sooner or later. They will become freaks amongst they brothers and sisters.
When I looked closely for the first time at Harlequin models it was obwious for me that they much in common with well known villians from Batman series.
I decided to dedicate each model to one of the Batmans cont-heroes using only a simple conversions and adding a unique painting scheme. Still, I wanted to make the Harlequins, not only the Jokers band. Even the question marks often appears on old harlequin miniatures.
But even I started to call them: Poison Ivy, Harley Quinn, Joker, Riddler and Penguin. The last member (Two-Face) unfortunately wasn`t made on time.
The whole squad took me about 120h in time of two weeks, which was combined with my ordinary work. In that way I could only paint during the nights which had limited my sleeping time to aprox. 5h per day.
After a lot of controversies about they non-WH40k theme and with a bit of luck they finally managed to win the gold demon in Regiment/Squad category.
I would like to thanks all people who helped me with this project:
- Kender - my room-mate, for his adaption to sleep with light on
- Piotr - for his constructive critics and controlling my crazy ideas
- CofC Team - for they support and motivating attitiude
and the last but not least,
to Kuczek - for everything! That whole project wouldn`t exist without You.
I would like to thanks also all guests who have travelled to Poland for the contest: Rusto & Renee, JMPN, CBA, Oscar Glydwell, Julien Cassess, Lotina, and many others who I didn`t to meet at person.
Special congrats for Ben Komets - "you are a man", mate!
