Poll: Do you paint your FFP game figures?
Yes. One day I will paint them all. Waghhh haa haa!!
No I can't be bothered, afford it, haven't the time, I don't feel the need.
Maybe but I don't know where to start.

I remember when I started back I had nothing but a few brushes and my 9 year old paints, these days I don't know how I did it without a pallet or a proper eye-dropper. Also invest in a good light, your eyes will thank you.
When I was buying supplies, I made the mistake of buying a Citadel standard brush for $5 or so. The thing is absulute junk. Went to Michael's and found a set of 8 - 10 brushes of varying sizes and styles for around $11, and they are SO much better. I now use the junky expensive brush for pulling paint out of pots and mixing on the palette... Ho hum.

Anyways, this is The Stag Lord that I am working on, my third mini since returning to the hobby. Not bad after a 15 year break, eh?
