  • James Otero started Siege Studios 10 years ago, and in this podcast he explains the full journey of Siege, from starting as a side hustle on his own, to having 8 office staff and over 80 freelance artists.
    Siege is mostly known for painting Warhammer 40k models for their clients all over the world, and working closely with Games Workshop to paint models for their Warhammer Community previewer programme.
    You'll also hear from Joe, who joined in 2019 on the office side of the company, and George, who first joined Siege as a freelance artist is now 2021 and is now our lead Content Creator, while still being a freelance artist for the company.

    A great episode which gives a really great perspective on Siege, how it came to be and the spirit of the team working for it. As someone who comes from Switzerland, only moved to the UK in 2015 and had never heard much of Warhammer before, I didn't quite realise just how impactful the pandemic must have been for the hobby, as I discovered Warhammer towards the end of 2020. I don't have a feel for a before/after comparison, but somehow it came across well in the discussion.
    Commission painting as a solo artist has been difficult for me so far, and I am honestly blown away and moved by the genuinely passionate, hardworking and caring side all three of you have shown for the industry here.

    I used to play drums in metal and punk bands, but I played D&D and had never heard of Warhammer. However, I played games with my guitar player, and if I had heard of Warhammer it definitely would have come up. Demons and undead, aliens and an empire; come on? What's more metal than that?

    I'll go ahead and say it, It sounds like You didn't want to run Siege Studios like Blue Table Painting. I can tell from all your amazing models that your QC process is very VERY good. I only started doing some commissions, but Quality Control is KEY to keeping return customers.
