Let's get your army on the table!

Whether you are picking up your first Combat Patrol
or you have been collecting since 3rd Edition, the same wall
hits everyone: turning grey sprues into a tabletop-ready force
takes time you usually don't have.

And with 11th Edition fresh on the table, the timing
to finally get that army painted has never been better.

Playing games with your friends, collecting awesome models and getting hyped when something new comes out is the best part of Warhammer 40,000. You spend your hobby time knowing more about the setting, theorycrafting lists and thinking how to get more people into the game.

Getting a fully painted army on the table often requires hundreds of hours at the hobby desk. With 11th Edition in full swing and the Armageddon conflict expanding, you are probably eager to jump straight into epic narrative campaigns and command your forces in table-breaking battles.

You could be checking the web for your very first Combat Patrol right now. You might also be expanding an already huge collection. Either way, the biggest hurdle is turning boxes of grey sprues into a finished force without burning out.

That is where we step in. Read on or choose your deployment path above to see how we can get your 40k forces ready for the tabletop!

Jumping into 40k?
Let's get you on the tabletop and paint your first army!

We’ve all been there. There is a time where every wargamer - seasoned or not - gets this idea about starting a 40k army.

Picking up a Combat Patrol or starter box is the easy part. Turning those grey sprues into a finished army while juggling work, family, and actually playing the game is where most people stall out.

That is where we come in:

• Let us handle the challenge: from sprues to a packed army, we cover every step in between.

• Your spark stays alive: no more staring at grey plastic wondering when you will actually get to play.

• Your vision throughout: we talk through colors and theme with you before any paint touches the model.

Quote your first 40k army

Grabbing an army starter, a new edition launch box, or a Combat Patrol is a great way to start, especially now. Why?

Now everyone is in the exact same boat - learning the new rules (without tons of additional errata), so there is zero pressure. A new edition of the game is the perfect moment to learn alongside everyone else and just enjoy throwing some dice. Also as you probably know the feeling of excitement of new models getting onto your shelves and the tabletop is unbeatable.

That box you just bought is absolutely perfect for playing your first smaller games and learning the ropes. But as you get hooked, you will naturally want to expand into those massive 2,000-point battles. That is when the reality of the hobby sets in. Scaling up to a full army means adding a lot more units, and finding the time to build and paint all those reinforcements can feel overwhelming.

That's what you probably don't want: to lose that initial spark while staring at a mountain of grey sprues, wondering when you'll actually get to play.

Between daily life and actually playing the game, finding the time to paint is tough. That is why so many players leave the desk work to us. We treat the entire project as a mutual collaboration - we figure out the exact look together, chatting through your ideas and sharing progress updates so everything matches your vision. We handle the kits, the assembly, and the painting, so your only job is unpacking your new army and getting straight to the tabletop.

Why paint your first Warhammer 40K minis with us?

The best way to find out if we are the right team for your 40k army is to look at what we have already painted and hear it from the players who trusted us with their projects.

Chaplains and Apothecary

I ordered some heroes to be painted and Minis for War was beyond amazing in their painting and communication. The models looks amazing, perfect for any model in your army!

Love collecting? Let’s expand your army the easy way.

The army you imagine, the army you list and the army you have actually painted are usually three different things.

Whichever side of that gap you want to close,
we are here:

• Finish what you started. That army sitting at 60% done for years finally crosses the line.

• Start what you have been eyeing. The new faction you keep telling yourself you will get to, ready to deploy in a season instead of years.

• Real pride every time you walk past the shelf. Open the cabinet to a fully painted collection that tells one, epic story.

Your 40K story from new release to game night

There is a unique kind of satisfaction in building a complete collection, but sometimes a new model reveal is so good it makes you want to start an entirely new army - especially with all the incredible units dropping for 11th Edition.

We completely understand the struggle. As hobbyists who collect across multiple game systems, we fall for the temptation of new sculpts all the time!

You want to jump into a new faction and experience the tabletop immersion of fully painted models, but starting from zero is a massive time sink.

Let us take the brush hours off your plate. We can build and paint your brand-new army from the ground up - or, if you are just expanding your current collection, we will easily match the reinforcements to your existing style.

Trusted by 40K collectors across editions and armies

In 2025 alone, we painted over 220 Warhammer 40,000 armies for collectors across more than 30 countries. The best way to find out what we are like to work with is to hear it directly from the players who handed us their projects.

Tyranids Leviathan

I have used many miniature painting services around the world and Minis for War is my favorite. The quality of painting of models has been phenomenal. What sets Minis for War apart is the level of customization (special basing, magnetization, weapon loadouts, etc) they are able to expertly provide.

Emperors Children Army

I ordered a whole army. My expectations were very well met and they really exceeded my hopes in the colour scheme. My favorite part was getting the updates and seeing the army come to life. The quality is awesome and i would highly recommend them to everyone.

Let's get your army painted

Having a masterpiece in mind?
Let's go big!

Some projects sit on your wishlist for years because they feel too big to tackle alone. Those are the ones we are built for.

• A piece that is the only one of its kind. Hand-built, hand-painted, made for exactly one collection in the world.

• Years of skill aimed at your one project. Display-level finish without you spending months at the workbench learning the techniques.

• A force people remember years later. The kind of army that becomes a piece of your local meta's history.

Quote your centerpiece

Every great idea deserves to be real.
We make it happen.

Maybe it is a completely custom centerpiece with a lot of kitbashing. It could also be a huge army counting hundreds of models, painted to display level. You might even be dreaming up an Imperial Knight with a massive anime freehand on the main armor panel (yes, we have done that before).

The vision is there, but pulling off that level of detail, custom 3D printing, and complex painting takes a ridiculous amount of time and skill.

You shouldn't have to scale back just because there are only 24 hours in a day. You bring the wild concept, and we provide the brushes and the experience.

Just share your ultimate idea with us, and we will get it built, painted and ready!

Trusted with the most ambitious 40K projects in the hobby.

The most unique 40K projects ideas rarely arrive as finished concepts ,but we help them see the light of day. They take shape on this workbench, together with the players who brought them to us. Each one ends up as a single piece in a single collection, with no copy anywhere else in the world. Two of those stories below.

Stars & Stripes Imperial Knights

Amazing studio! I'm slowly building a whole Imperial Knight army with a special theme (US Flag colors, Big cats as a symbol for each of the knight). 3 commissions so far, the fourth one is coming soon and I already can't wait to see the final result! The team is friendly, and communication is easy and reactive, from the first contact to the end of the project. I definitely recommend this Studio to my friends, as the crew deserves it.

Lasagna Space Marines Chapter

I had a look around at a few different places/teams/groups to get my commission done. However, after reading a few testimonials I decided to give Minis For War a go. I wanted to created my own chapter master for my home brew chapter plus a little Garfield theme space marine LT(as I’m a massive Garfield/cat fan). What the team did for me was not only magnificent but also more than I could ask for! I think the result speak for themselves and I already have two more commissioned orders place.

Let's create something unique

The handcrafted experience

Unboxing a new commission and putting it on the table for the first time should be a huge moment. You want to know your army is completely one-of-a-kind and that the painter actually cared about your specific vision while working on it.

Delivering that kind of care means taking absolutely no shortcuts on our end: every single model goes through a very real, hands-on process at our desks - from clipping and cleaning the sprues to laying down the final highlights and packing them safely for shipping.

While you are here, you can dive into the gallery to find inspiration for your next list, exploring everything from smaller detachments to massive, over-200-model armies.

And if you are wondering how it is to work with us, you can read through reviews from players who already put their projects in our hands and went straight to playing.
