I'm looking for a reliable UK-based minis painting service for 28mm minis, with prices around £5.00 GBP per figure (excluding figure cost). I've got a load of different stuff, WW2, WW1, British Civil War, Napoleonics, Pulp, Sci-Fi, and I'll probably kick uff with getting some Napoleonics done first.

Does anyone have any recommendations, based on personal experience?

What level are you looking for? I've used a few different people and they have very different styles.

I've seen a lot of great figures from troop of shrew who advertises on this board.

Wilson miniatures has various levels of quality and has a pretty fast turn around.Not sure of email or web address but can be contacted through monarchmilitarybooks.com

Thanks for the replies.

What level are you looking for?
I'm not sure what you mean – the best I can get for around five quid a figure. I don't like 'glossy' finishes.

Thanks again grin.

Have a look over at Steve Dean's site; lots of UK painters post over there.

Bob Kiff is very good, and charges around that price.

Thanks, 10thFoot. Do you have a link? My google-fu seems to be low for this one.

Thanks for the mention, but £5.00 GBP a figure wouldn't go very far i'm afraid.

What you charge more than £5.00 GBP a figure and there are people willing to pay that much!
