Hope this is the right spot to post this.

I am starting out and looking for a painted army.

Look forward to hearing for you.

Cheers,
Dru

I'd try e-bay unless you have something specific in mind.

Couldn't find any FoG ready armies on eBay

Do you have any idea what army you would like to buy?

I'm starting out, so not that fussed. As long as I can field 800pts plus some options.

It may be useful to give a rough period, quality of painting, approx price you are willing to pay, where it would be being posted too etc.

period I'm not fussed on, as I figure over time I'll want to have variety anyway. I am going to buy swiss figures to paint up if I dont get one pre-painted.
quality of painting - tabletop standard. I'm not looking for an award winning army (due to my budget).
Post to Australia.
$ wise, I'm not sure what the going rate is? Budget is prob up to $400.

Gave it some thought.

If I had an abundance of choice, something with elephants in it, or Byzantine or crusader periods, or vikings. 15mm

This is probably the sort of thing you are looking for.

However if you have a bit of patience you can pick up exactly what you want for a lot less by picking and mixing and building up your army slowly.

However you could design your army and then try one of the figure painting services, there's a few about and again most advertise on e-bay

I suggest http://www.fieldofglory.net/
I just discover their swedish army for the FOGR, really great.

About £2 a figure all in (casting, basing, flags, everything) but worth it if you have the money.

Just sent you a pm about 15mm stuff.
Hopefully it arrived!
It's about 15mm Later Carthos amongst other things.

There's always loads on ebay. Don't just look on your home country site. I sell lots on ebay and probably about half of it goes overseas.

You can get some good bargains, but a complete average painted 800 points army will normally go for about £150 - £250.
