Train me!

[Wasteland Jack]

Bokya,

I totally know how you feel. I just took my first endeavor into painting minis and it was a bit formidable at first, gathering everything I was told I needed, but once i started it was quite simple. You just need to take your time and be patient.

To answer your questions,

I started with a painters pack from Joann Fabrics, found it with the oil paints and supplies. It was a "round" pack (all brushes are round, no flats) and it came with: size 2, size 1, size 0, size 5/0 size 10/0. I also purchased a size 2 flat separately. The pack cost about $8 the additional 2flat cost about $1.

For paints I have been using less expensive paints like folkart, americana, and craftworks. You can get these for about $2 at most craft supply stores. I avoided citadel because they were more expensive for less product.

As for this, I do not know, but I was thinking, go pick up a bag of Army Men (those green guys from our childhoods, or am I dating myself). You can usually find them at the dollar stores. That way you can paint them without worrying about screwing up.

Good Luck!
