I just got my 3rd or 4th (I an remember exactly) order from Hoard Painting. This time I asked him to paint some Blue Moon 18mm Union infantry because I am trying to build up some ACW armies in a hurry.
The price was good, and I sent off 112 miniatures. I gave him two months to complete the project but he had it done and back to me in a month and half tops. Steven communicates well, sent some pictures, etc..
I wanted a basic Union infantry paint scheme, the standard dark blue coat with light blue pants, white canteen strap, etc.. I didn't ask for basing as I like to do my own so the army matches.
HoardPainting does really good 'rank and file' troops, which is what he advertises. These aren't 18mm figures with eyes painted on, but the elusive 'wargame standard;' a competent paint job that looks good on the table.
I would recommend this service to the wargaming community and I will be using him again in the future.
