Worthy Painting Becomes Official Painting Studio for Relics
April 28, 2012 by beerogre
Here's a press release from the guys at Relics, confirming their new relationship with the painting service, Worthy Painting.
We had a visit from Worthy Painting today and thought we would put together a quick video with some great news....
We have just signed on the dotted line to make Worthy Painting the 'official' Tor Gaming Painting Studio. They will be working on our entire range, helping us to re-image Relicia into a much darker place. No more of the 'cute', it's getting nasty!!!
Check out Worthy Painting's website, you could get your army painted by them!
Why not follow them on Facebook and stay up to date with what they are working on (you may even see the occasional Tor Gaming product on there...)
And of course, they have a YouTube channel (who doesn't) on which they post plenty of video content, well worth checking out and subscribing.
Cheers for watching!
Congratulations to Gavin and Nick, we hope this means bigger and better things for both companies!
Check out part 2 of the video HERE.

Have to say the paint job is ok, but if everything is so dark, where is the contrast? I myself really liked the Brits the way they were, as the stood out from the crowd. You may have something in the pipeline that perhaps will be a bit brighter, But that didn’t come across in the video.
Hope you guys do well whatever you choose though as the models themselves look quite nice 🙂
Great job guys, Relics really needed a dark style bringing to the minis to reflect the dark, gritty fairytale world of Relicia, the bright looking Britanan looked way too cute and toy-like, these guys look like the nasty lil’ puppets they’re supposed to be! I can’t wait to see what else you come up with, I’m especially looking forward to the Nuem after those preview shots!
Thanks! The term ‘Cute’ was being used way to much for my liking!! Worthy Painting ‘get’ where we want Relicia to be so it was a natural choice to make them our official painting studio.
Relicia is a very very dark place and we are going to start showing that not just in the painting… Daniel has been given orders to make all future writing a lot darker too…. Expect to read a lot of pain and suffering.
The Nuem will be available on a new ‘Pre-order Plus’ system very soon. With this system, we will be using a Crowd-funding platform as a pre-order mechanism that will allow you to get a lot of miniatures for the price of a starter set!! Basically, the more people who pre-order, the more you will all get! But if you order on the system, you WILL get your miniatures as it will not be a ‘All or nothing’ funding project.
The wya it will work is if the reward you selected has the text ‘TARGET BUSTER’ in it, the more that is pledged to the project, the more YOU will get! Let’s take a look at an example (the following is just an example…The actual targets and rewards may be differ):
You pledge for the NUEM STARTER SET – That is yours, guaranteed. It will be sent out to you once we have them produced. The project has an initial target of $XXX. If we do not hit this target, no worries – you will still get your Nuem Starter Set. However, if we do hit the target then in addition to your NUEM STARTER SET, you will also receive a copy of the SPECIALIS PUERI sculpt for FREE!.
At this point, we will set a new target and a new reward:
So, we have hit the first target! Great!! Now is time for a new target. Let’s say we set a new target of $YYY with a bonus of a minimum sized unit of AUXILIUM CONCURSUS. If this target is not reached, you will still get your NUEM STARTER SET plus the SPECIALIS PUERI. But if we DO hit this new target, you will get your NUEM STARTER SET, the SPECIALIS PUERI and the minimum sized AUXILIUM CONCURSUS All for the price of your initial pledge!
This continues until the project ends or we just run out of what we can give you!! and all for the price of a starter set!
There will even be options to have Worthy Painting paint your starter set for you!
So, keep an eye out as that will be live very soon!
I love the style and direction the Relica stuff is going, It really brings to life the dark and disturbing setting and characters that the Tor team have created. I can’t wait to see more from this bad ass partnership, I think Worthy were a great choice, they have some outstanding Painters on their team. I’m Looking forward to what the future holds for these guys!
I will miss the cute Britanans, but for that demented Chucky feel to come across they needed this revamp, so kudos to Tor and Worthy here.
Seeing the Nuem painted for the first time here immediately made me take notice, but by contrast, the first time I saw the Vaettir I thought the wings looked a bit rough. They obviously couldn’t be cast in transparent metal but they needed to be painted with some sort of shimmer – now that’s going to happen it should make me and others look at them again and end up muttering ‘shinyshinyshiny…’ under our breaths.
@torgaming, @worthypainting – This can only be a good thing guys, looking forward to more eye candy in future!
Have you guys at @torgaming gotten more websites/suppliers in the U.S.?
We’re working on it. 😉
I liked the way they where painted. But for the intended feel I can see the reason for the change. Also the painting from WP is just great.
Absolutely stunning stuff from worthy painting so far, really looking forward to seeing what they do with the rest of the range.
