Request for the sale of figures pre-painted

[agresor]

The plan is to make a request to Iron Wind Metals and Ral Partha so that they sell miniatures pre-painted of BT for many fans that we no have neither time nor abilities manuals to paint our figures.I would propose that each figure could be acquired in 10 generic paint schemes: Arctic , Tropical , Deserted , Urban , Volcanic , Earthy , Aquatic , Marshy , Herbaceous and Rocky.

Unfortunately it's unlikely to be economical. For IWM, a mini which sells a couple of hundred copies is a big seller. The companies used by WizKids to make & paint their minis require orders in terms of thousands to be worth their while setting up a production line. And no, IWM doesn't have the money to make thousands of minis and pay to get them painted on the off-chance they might sell. It's a lovely idea, but unlikely to happen in the short run. This is a very niche hobby, alas.

That said, there are some very simple ways to get some good tabletop-ready results with minimal skill & effort. Drop in to the "Tips and Tricks" sub-forum and look around, and feel free to ask questions. And look for threads mentioning "magic dip".

Some painters, like Amallor Myrrnyx, can be helpful to your problem, I think.

Way I see it there are two options. Commission a painter (and there are really good ones on here), or start up an N-scale force where all the Wizkids stuff is prepainted.

Prepainted would be nice, but what I'd like to see more of is minis that require no assembly.
