Hi everyone. I've followed a lot of tabletop gaming for many years, played various games occasionally, and am really feeling the pull of late. There's a store near me with gaming so I'm going to check it out, possibly get into 40k and Warmachine, and see what else they have going on. I'm excited but nervous about actually painting miniatures of my own for the first time, but looking at lots of tutorials. Anyway, just wanted to say hello.

Welcome to the forums (and the hobby)!

Never be nervous about painting your models - practice makes perfect in this case, so don't worry if you don't get great results first time round

Happy painting!

Weclome to the hobby, agreed never be nervous. Just remember don't glob the paint on, apply thin coats!

Hi,
