Grading guide

Clear language for painted miniature quality.

Grades help buyers compare armies quickly and help sellers price work honestly. They describe finish standard, not artistic worth.

Tabletop

Clean three-color standard, readable details, consistent basing, and good arm's-length impact. Ideal for playable armies and matched squads.

Parade

Smoother blends, controlled highlights, stronger focal points, detailed bases, and photos that show close-up quality. Best for premium armies and centrepieces.

Golden Demon Inspired

Display-first execution with advanced techniques, refined surfaces, composition, freehand or object source lighting, and collector-grade presentation.

What buyers should check

Look for honest photos from multiple angles, bases included in the shot, consistency across the whole lot, any kitbashes or proxy parts disclosed, and clear shipping expectations. When in doubt, message the seller before bidding or buying.
