WELCOME TO THE FANTASTIC WORLD OF GAME'S WORKSHOP HOBBY MAN !!!!
If you want to paint your figures, buy the game's workshop paint pot (each for 3 euros !!!!) it is expensive, but it is the best paint for your figures (this post is not spam !!!)
first, you just need to buy basic color (1 black, 1 white, 2 different brown, 1 dwarf flesh (don't take elf flesh, it's a bad colour), 1 green (for orc), 1 bones (for undead figures), 1 red, 1 blue). With those colour, you have all you need to begin ! Later, when you will be more experienced, you will certainly wanted to buy more colours.
To paint well, paint first all your figures in black. Then, the technic is to add light and colour little by little to the figure. Then you start in black. Buy some great pencil too, don't take the cheaper or synthetic... It's very important to have good pencil...
The best way to make good painting is to pratice. Begin with the black base, and be patient... Choose your colours, mix them if you want more nuances...etc. A great technic is called brushing to put a final touch to your paint work. It is very easy.
if you want to buy more figures too, go to game's workshop too... For me, they have the best figures for heroquest in the warhammer battle game. You can find ogre (30 euros for 6 figures), great orcs, goblins, beastmen, chaos warriors, skelettons, skaven (20 euros for 10/20 figures)...etc. Go to the Games Workshop website, you will also find some good tips to learn how ^painting miniatures, and also buy the adequate material for it...
I repeat again, that this post is not spam !!!
