I got my first 500 points of 40k yesterday (emperor’s children) and i’ve built most of the models but i really got into the hobby for painting. My hands are pretty shaky though which is annoying because i want to use a lot of different colors. Does anyone have any advice for having more stable or relaxed hands?

      Haha, it’s tricky for sure! But, as with all things, it just takes a bit of practice.

      I just use water yeah, but I think there are other products out there that can help thin paints down further than just water called “mediums”. I don’t use them personally and I’m by no means an adept at painting 😅

      It depends. For stuff like layering, washing etc where you need really thin paint I prefer thinner medium, but for base coats and in the beginning, water will suffice. But use clean water.
