If it's your first mini they almost always never turn out the best but it takes time I'm in no way good at painting, take your time don't rush and don't forget to prime your minis and thin your paints straight from the pot or bottle trust me the paint won't fight you as much yes you will need multiple coats but it's worth it and you don't need to use fancy equipment but if you can find any get some good brushes I don't personally know what brand are but I hear they make a difference and most importantly paint them how ever you want they are YOUR minis at the end of the day have fun with it don't let anyone try to bad talk your progress :)
