I’ve printed a few minis but have no idea where to start in regards to painting them - got any good resources to share?

Ninjon, Miniac, Duncan Rhodes, Squidmar Miniatures, and Goobertown Hobbies on YouTube (or whichever frontend thereof) have some awesome tutorials. Be forewarned, you will get sucked in!

Not really, I just kind of wing it, honestly. I’d recommend printing in white or gray to begin with, but after that I just go for it. I figure if I completely screw it all up, I can just print another and start again, lol. I’m not an experienced painter by any means, but I enjoy it when I do. It’s very relaxing to just throw on a podcast and zone out for a while.
