In terms of painting the first piece of advice I can give you is thin your paints. Multiple thin coats is the way to go. In terms of resources there are a ton out there. You tube has great tutorials and GW puts out painting videos multiple times a week. Search GW painting/Duncan for a ton of videos.

Looking forward to seeing your stuff, post picks when you've started]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/713200/9116390.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/713200/9116390.page GMT http://shop.thearmypainter.com/products.php?ProductGroupId=1

Painting in Batches will help also, start with 3 and work up. I was painting 5 to 10 ork boys in about 20 min, then dipping them. I also tried using minwax wood stain works great too.
Spend the most time painting your favorite models.

As for the name, if you think or know who your opponents will prominently be, like Marines or IG you could choose something from Greek Mythology. If its space wolves it could be from Norse Mythology. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/713200/9116443.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/713200/9116443.page GMT
