Alot of people are curious about getting things painted and ask me where to start. The first step is a budget.
Whatever you spend on gaming a month, halve it. Stop adding to an increasing pile of unpainted miniatures and dedicate half that money to getting things painted.
You need about $50 to start, so set that aside either in your hand or in the bank.
The next step is finding a painter. I dont recomend using anyone you know or game with, that only leads to problems. Painting alot of minis can be tedius and humans by nature are procrastinators. You will have much better results with professionals.
Where do you find those? I use two places.
The first place I go is the painting services section of Bartertown.

The next place I would go is the painting services of The Miniatures Page

I prefer Bartertown because the painters can PM you, on TMP you need to post your email address for them to contact you. However, if you are getting anything historical done, you need knowledgable people, odds are they are on TMP.
