[QUOTE="Oryan77, post: 6155381, member: 18701"] I don't want to paint these myself. I have a couple hundred that need painting and many of them are big. I haven't painted minis before, but I am artistic and I do like to paint. I'm sure I'd really enjoy painting minis. I just don't have the time to do it and I don't want to spend the time to do it. I DM, so the little time I have, I need to spend working on my campaign so that we have a game to play. My question is, these minis need to be re-based and many of them need parts glued together. I was wondering if minis painters prefer to have them based & all glued together before they start painting? If I ever find someone to paint these, I'd like to have them ready to go for them. But I won't glue them together if that will make painting harder for them. I was also wondering what something like this would cost? I don't need super detailed paint jobs. Just something that looks nice so they are not white and don't look like a child did it. None of my players paint minis.
