Title: UK Figure Painter recommendation
Post by: old smokie on 17 January 2013, 02:27:06 PM
Can anyone recommend a reputable figure painter in the UK, looking to have a large 10mm AWI project painted along with a 6mm ACW project, good quality pictures of work required also. Time is not an issue, figures would be sent in batches

TIA

There's loads of them knocking about the Forum, so you should be able to take your pick!

Off the top of my head:

Nik Harwood - Loads of his work all over the Forum!
Andy Mac - Great AWI work shown on the Pendraken site.
Sultanbev - Don't think he's got a website, but he's usually knocking about here fairly regularly.
Tiny Tin Troops - http://tinytintroops.co.uk/ (http://tinytintroops.co.uk/)
Spenno - Had some nice entries in last year's Painting Comp, did the 15mm Fantasy stuff on the Minibits site.
Tannenberg - Marco from RifRaf Miniatures: http://www.rifrafminiatures.co.uk/page16.htm (http://www.rifrafminiatures.co.uk/page16.htm)
Leveller Mutineer - Can't remember his website, but I'm sure he offers a service.
Tiny Terrain - Does custom terrain as well as painting I think.

There's probably a few more I've forgotten as well.

Hi Smokie,

might as well throw in my 2pence, I'm not in 'the business' as it were but I paint nigh on everyday, 6mm mainly and all other scales except 10mm (I am a very recent convert).
I've got a pic of 6mm in the 'not pendraken' section for reference.

ACW has been my main focus but I'll give anything a go, if you like, pm and I'll send you a few samples as soon as my AWI figs arrive and I can get a brush on them.

Cheers

Ry
