Salutations from a complete novice. What’s your recommendations to get started?

Note: A FLGS in town actually has a mini-painting workstation that you can use for $5/session, or as part of their monthly subscription for playing TTRPGs onsite. Since I play PF2E there several times a week I have that subscription. So I have a place to paint that’s already kitted out with just about anything you could need for mini-painting. (I think they charge extra if you want to add stuff like grass, sand, etc. to the mini, but the primer, paints, sealers, etc. are all included.)

I have two awesome minis arriving soon that are unpainted, so I’m looking for online sites/videos that start from “I know nothing” and work up from there.

Thanks in advance for any and all guidance you can provide!

    Hey I am currently also looking out for Tipps to begin with. Especially for Warhammer Kill Team.

    Question to the more mature painters. How do you select your paints? I see tutorials with like 20-30 different paints and although I understand why they are used, the paint recommendation of Warhammer includes like 4-5 colours. This seems more reasonable to me.

    Do i need a set of base colours or do I just need primer and the one “base” colour given in the recommendation?

    And the last question is, if I can’t even choose colours, is this the right hobby for me?

      For everyone as godless lost as me. The recommendation on the colour schemes are for all the models in a set. You can see the colours on the citadel colour app. As far as I understood you need all of them for the recommended colorway.
