Along with providing you with a premium painting service, the whole team at Siege are passionate about helping other painters progress, and we are all very proud to do this with multiple avenues at Siege Studios.
Below you can find out more about our renowned EMC courses which are available nationwide throughout the year, as well as our Patreon account which gives access to multiple tiers of tuition to painters all over the world.
The Siege Studios EMC (Essentials Master Course) is a tuition weekend that we offer throughout the year at multiple independent gaming & hobby stores up and down England.
The weekend gives you access to 14 hours of tuition in a one-on-one environment with our award winning instructors, covering a range of different techniques that will take you from the perfect basecoat, to successfully adding realistic battle damage and weapons blending, among other advanced techniques.
Although the results from our EMC studios undoubtedly look impressive, please do not be intimidated. The EMC is designed for painters with any level of experience to be able to apply the knowledge they pick up in order to progress their painting, so anybody is welcome.
Unless attending one of our specialist courses, the EMC will cover airbrush introduction, the perfect basecoat , battle damage, blending, brush control, dirt, grime & chipping, gems & lenses, all stages of highlighting, effective layering, correct paint consistency, shading & pre-shading, smooth transfer application, washes explained, wet palettes explained as well as multiple opportunities for you to have your models critiqued, and any suitable questions be answered – no matter how specific.
To find out more about the EMC, please head to our ticket site for specific course details, locations and tickets.

What to expect from the Siege Studios EMC:
Student testimonials:
At the Siege Studios Patreon we are looking to help painters of all levels push their ability and take that next step, no matter where they are in the world.
Depending on what tier you sign up to, you’ll enjoy anything from weekly tutorials to one-on-one video chats including personalised critique, advice and teaching.
We are frequently asked about online tutorials, techniques and lessons for those unable to attend one of our courses, or as something to keep the motivation going after people have attended.
Based on that, in 2019 we launched our Patreon and become one of the fastest growing miniature painting tutorial resources available.

“Siege Studios did a fantastic job on our Space Marine chapter. The level of quality exceeded my expectations, and make a fine addition to the MiniWarGaming Space Marine chapter. Thanks for the great work!”
‘Siege studios did a great job, each HQ character model was as requested in the specification sheet. They all looked great and the squads all looked great. The workmanship for the chosen silver painting standard was fantastic. As a consequence I will be requesting another commission. The only issue is do I request a phase 2 of the Grey Knights commission or choose a new one. As result of the skill and workmanship I really do not know what to do!’
“Extremely happy with the quality of Siege Studios and their friendly, professional communication. Would highly recommend them as an exceptional painting service and value for money!”
As with a lot of pictures of models they did not do them justice and the models look better in person and arrived completed ahead of time. I look forward to using Siege Studios again in the future.
“The Talons of the Emperor commission I’ve had done with Siege Studio has turned out amazing. After giving the them a paint scheme expect your models to look exactly the way you want, I look forward to expanding the force.”
“Siege completed a build and paint commission for 3 dreadnoughts. I highly recommend the Gold service – the colours were rich and the fine detailing incredible. I will definitely use them again”
“Absolutely chuffed to bits with my commission from Siege Studios! Is a mega professional company with a clear passion for painting beautiful models. When I got the commission back, it felt like I now owned “box art minis”! Big thumbs up”
“Siege Studio did a perfect job on my Gorkanought. I gave them full creative freedom when painting the model as long as it matches the Badmoon Ork theme, and I must say they did a wonderful job! It’s the perfect centerpiece for my Mek army. If I had any questions regarding your commission they always gave a quick answer back. Great Job Siege Studios!”
“Thanks to a lot of positive reviews and the wonderful work for Miniwar Gamining and Table Top Tactics, I have chosen Siege Studios for the painting of my three Tau Riptides at Silver Level. Through the whole process from the initial inquiry to the delivery of the completed models, the experience was extremely satisfying. Quick and always kind communication with James, obvious attention to my specifications and an absolutely stunning paint job are very good reasons for another commission with Siege Studios. Thanks for the amazing work guys!”
“A great painting service, with close follow-up and fast replies to questions. The painters also know a lot about the game, so one does not assemble units wrong”
“Siege Studios provide the client with a clear procedure and written trail of agreed specifications, reducing the chance of errors and ensuring that the order does not get muddled up with someone else’s similar order. Items are sent out recorded, which can be invaluable under certain circumstances”
“Thanks so much Siege Studios. I just don’t have the skills to free hand a banner, seeing the banners by Jonas just blew me away. The communication process was easy and we bounced ideas back and forth before Jonas came up with a concept sketch. He knocked out the Space wolf banner pretty quickly. I ended up taking several weeks before I was able to paint up a marine to hold it though. But the end result speaks for itself. Next time I need a banner done again I know who to turn to.”
“Siege Studios are an excellent company, communication is swift and clear, prices are fair and painting standards are among the highest on the net. I highly recommend them to everyone.”
“After completing the second phase of my Eldar army I couldn’t be happier with Siege Studios! The work is amazing and perfect. That isn’t just my opinion either. I can’t count the compliments I get when my boys are on the table.”
“From the moment I first approached Siege Studios to paint my Halo Fleet Battles starter box for me they have been up most professionals throughout. Upon learning they had experience painting miniatures made by Spartan Miniatures I was instantly sold on this studio to paint my Halo Fleet Battles models. Upon seeing pictures, videos and receiving my models I was not disappointed, they captured the essence of Halo for me in the 47 models they painted. The OSL on the engines and covenant fleet are a particular highlight for me and bring the models to life on the table. I know when Spartan Games release their ground combat Halo game who I will be approaching to paint those”
“A fast and friendly lot who I would recommend for a build & convert only commission will defo be back for another project!”
“Siege Studios executed an amazing commission for me, it exceeded my expectations in every way and was delivered ahead of time, within budget and with a fantastic attention to detail and level of service. A fast and friendly lot who I would recommend for a build & convert commission, I will definitely be back for another project!”
“An awesome painting service provided by true hobbyists. From the start I received a great service with plenty of communication not to mention a fast turnaround! The best thing was they worked to my budget! Thoroughly Recommended!”
“I had a tight budget for my hobby and Siege worked with it and produced a brilliant army! 100% recommend these guys, professional, friendly with a great service! Top notch!”
“The Brass Scorpion you guys done for me is amazing, great service, great communication and totally worth the price”
“If you don’t have the time, drive or skill to paint models like I don’t, the guys at Siege will do an amazing job on your army for an affordable price. I will be sending them more of my models to paint soon, consider me a very happy customer!”
“Three words to describe Siege Studios – “Simply the Best” commission service right now offered on the market. The most bang for your buck from the exceptional service provided to the masterful painting of your models. The Director, James, is always on the ball in terms of updates on your project including pictures on the progression of how your models are painted. Without a doubt full recommendations as you will not only be 100% satisfied with the finished product but you will always be kept in the loop knowing that your project is in safe hands.”
“Great communication during the entire process, always knew what was going on. The models I ordered really fit in well with my existing force. Just letting them know what you’re looking for will do! Great work!!”
“This is my first time using a painting studio and i was slightly apprehensive but my fears dissipated by the friendly and professional manner of the staff a Siege Studios. This coupled with excellent painters and good value for money makes me more than happy to recommend them to others and re-use myself keep up the great work!”
“Siege Studios all round quality of service was fantastic. The standard of painting quality at all levels was exceptional, I would highly recommend them and look forward to having more commissions done in the future.”
“Great fast service with excellent communication and Quality specialist painting and use of decals”
“I can’t start to say enough about quality and beauty of the Eldar force I have commissioned with Siege Studios. They are a quality act all the way from order to shipping. Can’t wait to put my next commission on the table.”
“My models arrived from Siege Studios today and they were amazing, even better than the pictures. I highly recommend them to anyone who needs their army or models painted”
“Siege studios did a great job working on my miniatures, especially on the infantry. The bronze level is really good for table top standards”
“After another painting studio decided to no longer want to paint an army project, I had to find another company that could deliver and match the best they can to a large amount of models already painted. I have used Siege Studios before and believed there customer care and understanding would be the best benefit for me. Having received the models I know I made the right choice. They look great and fit in perfectly with the remainder of the force. I can highly recommend Siege Studios”
“Having a commission with Siege Studios has been great. They have been extremely helpful in keeping me up to date and answering any questions I’ve had in the duration. The commission itself looks stunning and I’m so glad I did it.”
“I commissioned a custom Lord of Change model from Siege Studios this year and I could not be more happy with the finished product. The only downside is that the model is painted so well that I am afraid of ever playing with it and accidentally smudging the great work that they did!”
“While Siege Studio’s may not be the cheapest option on the market today in terms of commissioned model painting, that MORE than make up for it in quality and speed of service. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for extremely high quality work”
“Siege Studios were the consummate professionals. From the communication with James before and during the commission, to the delivery of the final product, let alone the quality of the miniature! I literally cannot fault them. Will definitely be using them again!”
“Siege Studios all round quality of service was fantastic. the standard of painting quality at all levels was exceptional, I would highly recommend them and look forward to having more commissions done in the future.”
“I came to Siege looking for a center piece of my collection, the results far exceeded any expectations. Not only is this a beautiful model to behold, but they completed it way faster than originally predicted. Saying I’m pleased is an understatement.”
“Siege studios did an awesome job, the models were painted to an incredible standard and they got the army theme spot on. I’d use them again in a heartbeat”
“Amazing work done by the Siege Studios, very happy with the whole commission process and was absolutely blown away by the amazing freehand banner made by Jonas! I highly recommend Siege Studios and would love to carry out another commission in the future with them.”
I commissioned Siege Studios to paint an Eldar Aspect host. The finished miniatures are truly outstanding. Based to a really high standard and painted with obvious care and attention. I would happily use Siege again.
“This was my first time using a commission painting service and I didn’t really know what to expect. I googled commission painting and selected one at random and boy am I glad I selected Siege Studios! From the outset the communication has been first rate and the quality of the painting is so high. My commission was a small Imperial Guard kill team, not a huge army project like I know they get. I still very much felt like my small commission was important to them, the customer service was second to none. Thank you to everyone at Siege Studios, I will definitely be using your services again.”
I have never had a commission before so wasn’t 100% sure what to expect. I can say without a doubt it was an incredibly satisfying experience, with the end product surpassing even my best expectations! A very professional company who I will strongly recommend to anyone.
I gave Siege Studios a very specific brief. As collector rather than a player, they have exceeded all my expectations. Their attention to detail is second to none. Great project!
Having worked with Siege Studios for on several different projects, I was especially impressed with the quality and attention to detail that they lavished on my army projects. They are keen to collaborate with you on creative ideas and definitely go the extra distance when meeting a client’s expectations. It’s this level of excellence that has made Siege the official Tabletop Tactics Painting Studio.
“Siege Studios did a fantastic job on our Space Marine chapter. The level of quality exceeded my expectations, and make a fine addition to the MiniWarGaming Space Marine chapter. Thanks for the great work!”
