    Depending on what you mean by high quality, you can be spending hundreds per model.

    Table top quality prices usually start at about $5 a figure on the very low end and go up from there depending on painter and quality.

    It would also depend on the size of the model. Are we talking basic infantry, ICs, vehicles, or what?

    Brian stop, last warning and get over it. I am sorry your Bromance has gone south but its strating to get annoying to everyone. If you can't act like a big boy, go play somewhere else.

    After reading this I have decided that the movie "Pineaple Express" should redo one of its quotes from:

    "But if you do something heroic then you'll come back as like an eagle or a dragon, or Jude Law."

    To:

    "But if you do something heroic then you'll come back as like an eagle or a dragon, or Nick Rose."

    I have commisioned several of our residents to paint some of my models, as have others here.

    I have a warmachine caster painted by Mike travis, cost me 60 bucks and took him about 2-3 weeks.
    I also have had about 1800 points of my Dark Eldar done up by Thomas(goatboy) for about 300. Whole army was done to a good table top standard in about a month.

    It depends on what you want painted, how good and how fast. I think you will find someone easily enough but you will get either good speed or good quality, not both.

    Hell even Spines paints real good but he is slower than....well nothing is slower than he is!
