Hello TMP! I have a huge pile of 15mm lead that is for a Pictish army. It is mostly foot with some cavalry and chariots. My budget is between $1.50 USD-$2.00 a figure for foot, obviously more for the mounted and chariots.

Normally I would paint them myself, but the reason I am soliciting for a painting services is due to the complexity of the Pictish warrior. I am looking for someone who has experience painting Picts before and can do woad tattoos as well as checkered/gingham patterns for some of the cloths.

Thanks TMP!

Best,

Stanton

More the detail….more the price ….esp if n 15mm….

Considering what you are wanting per foot you might want to give Pictor's Studios a go. That is about their going rate for 15 mm foot and they are professionals that do this on a regular basis. Soliciting a stranger here on TMP may lead to unhappiness for both parties.

I have attempted a couple of times to earn some extra income by painting other people's figures. I have learned that a, I do not like painting other people's stuff especially if there is a deadline, and b, painting other people's stuff means I am not getting my stuff painted. Which leads to a cascade failure that neither the "client's" stuff or my stuff is getting painted. Which is why I no longer attempt to offer my services as a painter of other people's miniatures.

I am fine with selling miniatures that I have already painted for myself and gotten some enjoyment out of using. But taking the plunge to do stuff on commission is not my strength and I have learned that lesson.

Yeah I suppose what I am looking for is more of a painting service and not an individual. Thanks for the reccomendation I will check them out. Are there any other painting services you all would reccomend?

Haven't done picts or 15MM before but I'm totally interested in the challenge and the price seems fair to me at this time. Contact me at gerencovant@gmail.com and we can discuss the details of your like.
