At Axis & Allies Board Gaming we have one simple mission: to improve your gaming experience.

What we do:

All items are custom painted by us and made to order. We provide a unique value proposition over other custom painters: we will craft in volume, and all our carriers and aircraft come fully magnetized.

Our pieces have a uniform look consistent from piece to piece which gets us excited to play. Don’t take our word for it. Here is a customer testimonial:

I was extremely pleased with the consistency and quality of the painted pieces - kudos! I am definitely interested in acquiring more pieces from you. – Frank L.


Custom painted playing pieces brings your game to life

 ▪  What separates us is our attention to detail and uniformity of paint schemes. Each of our pieces looks like the next. There is very little deviation for hand crafted works.

 ▪  All our game pieces are authentically painted. In some cases where colors are too close of a match, we have chosen to use more distinguishable colors.

 ▪  Custom painted units transform your favorite board game into a works of art that will inspire you and your fellow players. We get customer feedback that their children are enthralled by our creativity and it’s hard to keep them away from the game.

 ▪  All game pieces undergo a rigorous painting process. First any excess flashing & burrs are trimmed and smoothed by hand. Next, washes and highlights are applied to bring out the fine details of the sculpt. Custom decals are added and coated with a decal setting solution for superior adherence. And finally, a matte clear coat finish is applied to produce a uniform, non-reflective sheen and for better handling durability.

 ▪  Aircraft carriers get two magnets to accommodate 2 planes. Magnet holes are drilled and magnets are glued into place for carriers and holes filled with putty and sanded smooth. In addition, all aircraft are magnetized with small, but very strong neodymium magnets. Planes adhere to metal flight stands and the carrier decks with enough force that they can be bumped and not fall off. 

Never have to worry about planes falling off carriers again!

Who we are


Greg – This is me. I entered this hobby in January of 2019. I am a prolific A&A miniature painter, and my specialty is naval and aircraft pieces, digital graphics and decal creation. I paint all the pieces and make all the decals offered on this site. I say "we" throughout my site, but it is mostly just me, and sometimes my wife. This is my passion, though not my primary occupation, and sometimes other obligations interfere. I work 70-100 hours a week and have for many years. It's just what I do. I don't have time to do custom work so please don't ask. Typical turn around times are 1-3 weeks on all orders and a little longer for large orders or during peak busy times.

I produce hundreds of pieces a year, perhaps 1000's, but I've never counted them so do't really know. My gallery page only shows a small fraction of my work. This is my workstation desktop and, yes, I do work on this many pieces simultaneously during peak times. It's not easy to keep up!



I started with a philosophy of painting great sets with a fine attention to detail. I found many custom painters unwilling to paint more than a few items at a time and they were unable to maintain a consistent quality over more than a couple of pieces. When items can vary greatly from one another, it becomes noticeable, and the variations can be a distraction - the exact opposite of the effect intended. Through the innovative mix of custom decals and hand painting, I can produce the finest pieces available today, consistently.

A&A Boardgaming brings you unique products not found anywhere else on the web. My customers agree - 75% of my business is from repeat customers. 

Some amazing work! – Richard B.

Shipping – We require signature receipt for high value orders. Please contact us if any items were damaged during shipment. Be sure to include photographs of the damaged box and game pieces and we’ll promptly replace the damaged items. If a package appears so badly damaged at the point of delivery that you suspect loss of playing pieces, do not accept the shipment and refuse to sign for delivery.
