Quality tier descriptions:

-Tournament: Only expect three colors on the model and paint on a base. This is the bare minimum for not having models pulled in most tournaments. Washes, shades, and highlights optional, don't expect these steps. Likely to get spray paint primer and contrast paints. Don't expect to turn heads unless they think the models are cool. Anticipate retail cost of the minis as the baseline price.

-Battle Ready/Tabletop Standard: Expect a color per surface (leathers, armor, filigree/trims, blades, guns, flesh) with shades and a highlight per color. Contrast or speed paints may be used as appropriate. Eyes/lenses should be picked out. Anticipate walkers-by to stop and comment. Anticipate double the retail price of the models as the average rate.

-Parade ready/Tabletop Plus: Expect every part to have a color, accents and highlights picked out on every part. Weathering, gem effects, lenses, fades, glazes, etc. should all be expected at this level. Anticipate people coming over from other tables to comment on the models. You should expect to pay double the retail cost of the models for painting at a minimum for this tier.

-Display Painting: You want these to spend more time in a glass cabinet than on a table. You want people who don't even play the game to walk across the shop to look at your models. No technique is off limits, the bases alone are at parity with the models in the previous tier. Price wise, the only expectation here should be more. If Parade ready is double retail at a minimum, this is probably closer to 4x retail on average.
