Well I don't do it myself, but Google (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&sa=X&oi=spell&resnum=0&ct=result&cd=1&q=Miniature+painting+service&spell=1) is your friend. I found a page full (at the link) with one search.

Blue Table Painting (BTP to it's fans) is sweet. Check 'em out on youtube.com. They can do alot, or just a little, depending on what you want- fantasy, sci-fi, historical, custom, etc.

They also play the games they paint for, so there's a whole lotta love.

Yes, there can be alot of money in painting miniatures, if you have the talent. My question has always been, are 'pro-painted' miniatures worth the effort? Seems that it would take alot of time to paint up a good miniature, and the more hours you put into it, the less you make.

It's worth it to me to get an army painted. If someone is willing to give me a price I am willing to pay to paint 50 Eryian Soldiers, I'll pay it.

If you get a good painter or even an average painter who is organised and dedicated, it can take a surprisingly small amount of time. Of course, most of the figs wouldn't be painted to display quality, but they can still be made to look full of awesome.

This fellow is speed-painting an army, no blending, display quality only on the leaders and certain pieces. Gawd it must be nice to make a living from that sort of thing :)

I wasnt talking about the buyers of the miniatures, of course it's a good deal. I was speaking of the individuals that put in the many hours painting the miniatures then selling them.
