[QUOTE="MGibster, post: 8223057, member: 4534"] When I read the OP I immediately thought of this as well. Don't expect quality or any sort of uniformity, but these are Bones miniatures we're talking about. I mean, they're not bad for what you paid for but we're not exactly talking boutique miniatures here. And even a bad paint job is going to look better than white plastic. That depends on the painter I guess. For me, like I said above, these aren't boutique miniatures, and the soft plastic they use for the line often results in poor detail and bent weapons so I'm not putting a whole lot of effort into these suckers to make sure they look good. i.e. The odds of me putting them on a different base are close to non-existent. I'll make some exceptions for some of their bigger models. Many of those are fantastic miniatures for the price and it's just well spent money in my book. On Youtube, [URL='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2bzqqgPMNL8']Squidmar[/URL] paid some artists from Fiverr to paint a few Warhammer miniatures using his tutorials as a guide. He got some great looking miniatures but a regular sized miniatures was $40 and a squad of 8 came out to $30 a each. If you're picky, then I think commissioned work for that many miniatures is going to be prohibitively expensive. But, hey, if you're not too picky about quality I'll paint your regular sized Bones Miniatures for $5 each! Let's start out small with an order of 20.
