Pro Painted Warhammer Models, You Sure?

Painted miniatures are often quick ways to bulk up your army by adding
choices without having to go through all the hassle of
building-priming-painting-basing etc. As it so happens, there are
plenty of eBayers out there selling painted Warhammer models, be they
40k or Fantasy Battle.What surprises me here, is every other
person is selling 'Pro-Painted' models. This is quite confusing, as
you'd expect anything with that sort of title to be a well-painted,
high standard, tidy model.You'd be wrong though. Sneaky eBayers
out there seem to stick Pro-Painted onto just about any model,
irrespective of whether it is painted in a grubby basecoat with Boltgun
Metal painted slapdash across it, or an exquisite example of fine
blending, highlighting and NMM.SO, What Can you do about it? Heres my list of things to do and watch out for:PICTURES
Its all about these in my opinion. Get as many as you can, get em sent
to you by email if you have to. Blurry ones wont do, they do not pick
up detail. Really look at the paintjobs, is the paint to thick? Really scrutinise these things, its your money!FEEDBACK
Check if the sellers sold any other models, and see what the paintjobs
on them are like. If they are at a high standard, odds are so are the
ones your bidding on.DESCRIPTION
Often, if a model is below par the description will simply state, See
Photo, of course the photo will be blurry so you cant really see
much. Always be wary of people trying to catch you out by saying the
paintjob is magnificent, but the photo is crap.
