I have bunch of games with miniatures made of single colour plastics which is a bit boring. I did buy a Warhammer paint kit to eventually try to paint some but so far I was too lazy (or scared? 😅) to try.

Do you colour your miniatures? If yes, what do you do to them - nice single colour coating/detailed multicolor paint job/…?

Edit: “derailed” -> “detailed”

    Start with an undercoat of primer (usually available in spray cans) in a neutral color.

    I’d suggest keeping your colors simple. A black undercoat with red for major areas is very striking and easy without lotsa commitment.

    Don worry about messing up! You have lotsa little pieces and one bungle doesn’t look as obvious from afar.

    And have fun!

      Riiight. The undercoat seems like a great idea. Actually in some cases a black or metallic looking undercoat and a few details would do the trick.
