Do you colour your miniatures? (lemmy.world)

I have bunch of games with miniatures made of single colour plastics which is a bit boring. I did buy a Warhammer paint kit to eventually try to paint some but so far I was too lazy (or scared? 😅) to try.

Do you colour your miniatures? If yes, what do you do to them - nice single colour coating/detailed multicolor paint job/...?

Edit: "derailed" -> "detailed"

I paid my stuff, but only if I know I'm keeping the game/minis. For example, I have an Arcadia Quest set and I paint those cause I know I could repurpose them for other games if need be. Conversely, I'm not painting my Cosmic Frog set yet cause I don't know if it's staying or not.

The hassle of getting that green goo stuff to strip paint turns off a lot of buyers, and there is something about accepting your own mistakes vs mistakes of others...
