Would you happen to know who produces or make custom one off transfers that are not to expensive?
You can buy water slide decal pages that you can print on with an ink jet printer.
Ebay is full of suppliers and there are lots of online how-to videos.
I don't have any pics to hand, but I made a complete set of saga dice using an a4 sheet I bought off ebay and printed on, once I applied a little matt varnish to the decals/dice they have lasted well over a year of angry dice throws.
I can't imagine you would have any problems with decals for minis tbh.
edit:
I didn't attempt anything this detailed, but flowery patterns aside, it shows what can be done
