Your advice

There are several services out there offering to paint miniatures, they usually offer several different levels of quality.

Level 1- Tabletop standard, basic base coat with odd detail and highlight.
Level 2- Few blends of colour, use of highlights, washes and good quality on details.
Level 3- Masterclass, something you could expect in a competition.

Well here is the question, I am going to try and give this a go using the Warbunka but what do you guys think is a reasonable price?

I've seen some people pricing the lowest quality of service at £2.50 per miniature... I think that is quite a bit myself.

It depends on how much you value your time and how good the paintjob is.

I recently spoke to a painter that was going to charge £3.50 for a basic job on an infantry size figure. He wanted to charge £4.50 for a more detailed model and £7.50 for a Big Guy. This was a bit more than I wanted to pay and for that money I'd rather paint them myself.

I would say £2.50 for a basic paint job will be fine. £3.50 - £4 for a more detailed Job. You would have to speak to any potential client and tailor individual quotes based on their requirements.

If this is a service to be offered I'd rather bring my business to painters at the Club. I normally like to paint my own models. However, I have quite a few Bloodbowl and Elfball Teams that need painting so may well employ your services. I can pay or trade you some Space Ork stuff. For a BBowl team, I'd like more detail than basic but not as much as a Display or Competition standard. I'll talk to you at the Club for a quote.

Brilliant, I will speak to you then
