ShellNewHandler VS Battle Painters

No features have been listed yet.

• Saves time for hobbyists
  I could not browse the site, so this assumes Battle Painters is a commission painting service for tabletop miniatures, as the name suggests. If so, it lets busy gamers get armies painted without spending many hours on it themselves.
• Professional-quality results
  Experienced painters can usually reach a higher standard of blending, highlighting, basing and detail than most casual hobbyists. That can make an army look better and make a showcase piece or competition entry more impressive.
• Consistent army look
  A single service can paint a whole army in one style. That avoids the mismatched look that often comes from painting units at different times or skill levels.
• Customization options
  Commission services often let customers choose color schemes, basing styles and painting tiers, such as tabletop standard versus display quality. This lets buyers match the work to their budget and taste. Check the site for the options actually offered.
• Lets you focus on gaming
  Outsourcing painting means you can spend your time playing, collecting or converting models. Many events also require painted armies, so this helps people meet those rules.

Possible disadvantages

• Cost
  Professional painting is usually much more expensive than painting miniatures yourself, especially for large armies or higher quality tiers. Costs can exceed the price of the models themselves.
• Turnaround time
  Commission painters often have queues, so projects can take weeks or months. This can be a problem if you need an army for a tournament or event by a set date.
• Shipping and handling risk
  Sending miniatures to and from a painter adds shipping costs and the risk of damage, loss or customs delays. This matters most for international orders and for fragile models.
• Style may not match expectations
  Even with a detailed brief, the finished result may differ from what you pictured. Revisions can be limited or cost extra, and quality may vary between individual painters.
• Less personal satisfaction and limited verification
  Painting is a core part of the hobby for many people, and outsourcing it removes that creative experience. I also could not verify the site's reviews, pricing or policies, so check its portfolio, testimonials and terms before ordering.

• I recently got libreoffice, but now the new option in right click looks like a mess. Can someone help me get rid of them please?

  Use Shell New Handler. Run the portable app and simply untick the items you don't want to appear in your new context menu. Source: about 4 years ago

• This menu should be easy to add/remove programs to... Who is really creating Access Databases from this menu often enough to keep it here? (Not me!) Is there an easy way to edit this?

  I've always used ShellNewHandler for this. It's a really simple portable utility that allows you to remove most of the items from that menu. Tested it out on Windows 11 and it's still compatible. Source: over 5 years ago
