Dolozselek Csilla kindly donated a Warhammer Fantasy Battles: Battle for Skull Pass boxed set, and some hobby supplies (paints, brushes, Games Workshop basing materials). Most of the miniatures were also lovingly painted, as you can see from the photos. This gift gave us two full armies to play with, thank you very much!

Miniature sculpting commission services
Miniature sculpting commission services: When you really need a wargame or board game miniature but you can't find it on the market, you can always commission a sculptor. I've listed the commission miniature sculpting services by area.
Physical sculpting: The sculptor creates a physical copy while sculpting it. If you already have a caster, ask them about their requirements of the original sculpt. Some sculpts need to be larger than the intended size of the miniature, some need to withstand intense heat, so get the information before the sculpt is done.
3D sculpting: The sculptor creates a virtual miniature that can be 3D printed. Before you assume the sculptor will give you a miniature ready to cast, ask them whether they'll create a file ready to print, will they send you a printed copy, and will they create a physical copy of the miniature, ready to be casted. Don't assume a 3D sculptor will do any of these, beyond creating a 3D design. It's also recommended to find 3D sculptors that have some history with creating castable miniatures, so they'll have a better idea what you expect of them.
If you see (Games Nexus) listed in the links for a sculpting service, it means you can find product reviews of their work on our website. If you see the name of a person highlighted as a link, it means you can find an article about that person and their work.

Miniature casting services: Do you have an own wargame or board game miniature sculpt you'd like to have some copies of? You can cast as many as you want if you pay for casting services. I've included some 3D printing services that specialize in miniatures. I've listed the commission miniature casting services by area.
If you see (Games Nexus) listed in the links for a casting service or 3D printing service, it means you can find product reviews of their work on our website. If you see the name of a person highlighted as a link, it means you can find an article about that person and their work.
There are two kinds of moulds you can use to cast miniatures:
Rubber moulds: They are made of rubber, cheaper to produce. You can cast metal or resin miniatures from these.
Steel moulds: They are made of steel, have a longer life, but more expensive to produce. You can cast polystyrene, PVC miniatures this way.
Prodos UniCast: An interesting version of steel moulds, seems to be cheaper than the usual moulds.
