Hey everyone, what's up- I'm relatively new to wargaming in general as I only started early this year but it's quickly become possibly my favourite hobby. I primarily play Warhammer 40k although I also collect some WHFB models to paint up from time to time as well. One thing you should know about me is I don't really have a natural talent for anything- so my knowledge of rules, and my painting skills leave a lot to be desired. That being said, I've lurked these forums for two or three months and after having some trouble finding a big wargaming community elsewhere since I moved away from my first GW store, I've decided to create an account. Some other things I enjoy are baking, video games, and good comedy. I may also have a tendency to get PC at times but I like to think not overly so, especially due to my RL cursing habits. That said, I'm usually a pretty chilled-out kind of person- my limited interactions with other people/partial autism make me unsure how to react to things sometimes though, so apologies if I take something the wrong way. I love good movies although I sometimes have clashing opinions with others (don't we all ) which bums me out a lot. I love a wide variety of music- you name it, I've probably at least heard it. Maybe not.
Anyway, I'm really always open to tips and suggestions involving my painting because I would very much like to improve- I'm a very simple beginner and don't know much about mixing or anything like that, currently I only have around 30 citadel paints and shades/washes.
I'm not great at introductions, so if this post needs anything more substantial, please let me know!
Here are some pictures of a few things I've painted (you'll notice symbols/shading is missing- I'm terrible at both these things and can't freehand due to my hands being so shaky you'd think I had Parkinson's, no matter where I hold my elbows)

Nice introduction! And welcome!

30 paints! I'm surviving on about 15. Since I'm a sporadic painter, too many paint pots have suffered the eventual fate of drying up, while in my care. So I try to buy less these days.
