On reddit there is the miniature painting subreddit. I think it isn't even blacked out but I can't be bothered to look. Painting minis is a lot less difficult than it looks imo. It's super rewarding because of how quick the initial learning curve is.

These are not that much work to assemble. Only the hands and weapons as well as the bases needed to be glued to the rest.

I also 3D printed the models myself which is extra work. But of course models can simply be bought from a hobby store or game store.
