First time painter here!

Recently learned about Trench Crusade from a friend and I’ve got super into it! My birthday is coming up so I’m treating myself to a few models. My biggest concern is that I haven’t ever painted minis before.

I thought it would be best to ask people who have specifically painted the Trench Crusaders, what’s the best way for a beginner to learn?

I mainly want to know what equipment I should get, best paint brand, etc.

Links to helpful videos would be nice too! Thank you all!
