Man! Your painting skills look magnificent! I got my first minis, but still have fear to do everything bad, which keeps me from starting to try.

Thanks! There is still much to learn and I totally have to get faster but with every brushstroke things are getting easier ^^ I had a long pause from painting but trying to do a little bit every day seems to work for me. I just do not think I will ever play a game with my Ultramarines because regarding GW's actual publishing cycle when my team will be finished there are new models and rules 😅.
As corny as it sounds if you would like to paint just try with a miniature you like, look for a beginner tutorial (best for this specific miniature) with not too many different colours to buy for your first try and copy the steps. I am not as good an artist to invent great colour schemes myself so far, it's more applying the same techniques on other miniatures like doing a page from a colouring book ^^ Fortunately today there are so many good tutorials out there to watch and learn from.
It's not easy for me to get minis, so I have to be extremely careful. I know that I cannot improve myself if I don't take the first step. I actually did my first step with gluing pieces together to build up the minis. I'll do a post about it tomorrow, with some photos. It's exciting for me, because I always wanted to get into this hobby for huge years!
It's bad if there is not much supply in your area. I remember you mentioning that about roleplaying books written in your language or even in English, too. What about the 3D printer community where you live? Perhaps it`s easier to get some minis that way? Great that you want to get into painting though ^^
I haven't checked it out, yet. I'm not sure if I could find a reasonable pricing, but I guess it's the best bet.
I have no experience with 3d printing, a friend of mine is some kind of tinkering genius and uses such a device for a long time. Not for miniatures but for nearly everything else ^^ I would be interested to try something like this out but would have to rely on printing services to get it printed, too.
