Painting Service Needed

[surgical111]

paintjobs nicer than simple gaming minis. Usually skirmish 'armies' are painted to this level as it's 'affordable' because you don't have to have 100+ mini painted, but just 5-20. On CMON they would be those that score in the 5(maybe 6)-7 range.

- You could go cheaper with painting companies from India/Malaysia/China, but they are dodgy at best. And it can happen, that you not only pay around 50% in advance, but you also don't get the minis back.
- A bit similar with BlueTablePainting in the US. They do (did?) paint cheaply, but for that they were slow and the quality was bad. Actually from the few reviews on the net I'd rather give my minis to a 4 year old to paint them, then to them.
- Or you could go for east-european ones. They are cheaper than then the West-EU ones (can be as low as half or third the price), but the quality and speed can be a hit or miss. (
these were painted in Hungary

Imho what's worth 1 try: here/ on WAMP / on Dakka / etc show what you want painted (which figures) with a reference to what level. Maybe someone will like the project idea and do it for cheap/free.

I appreciate the response and the wealth of useful info thank you all for educating me in this space, I really was clueless.

Hmm, that makes me realise, if I want to get commission jobs, that gallery really needs an update!

I've just been shown in my hand some work from HotDrop Studios.
Bloody Hell, Matt's gaming standard is better than my Display standard.
Blends so smooth I thought they were airbrushed.

HotDrop studios look for them on Facebook.
