Sup /tg/, I don't have any friends to play tabletop games with or D&D and stuff, but I want to get back into painting miniatures like I did when I was 12 years old or something. Despite liking the look of Games Workshop stuff, I don't really want to spend all that money so early on.
Where can I get some cheap/affordable minis that I won't feel bad for painting badly on my first attempts?
I could also do with recommendations for paints, I have some stuff already but they're the shiny enamel kind that I don't think I should use and GW's paint line seems extortionate. Should I just go with GW's paint or something else?
I'd google, but I thought it'd be better to hear from you guys.

Buy reaper bones minis. They are pretty great looking and really cheap. Good set to use as a stepping stone for your other games.
Vallejo paint is the best stuff to use.

I just had a look, the Cowboys looks pretty cool.

Sounds good. I'll find a painting guide, but is it a retarded idea to use Games Workshop paint with Vallejo on the same model? What about inks and washes or whatever? I'd like to spend a long time per model to make them the best looking I can.

You can mix and match.
GW makes pretty good paint but its over priced. Vallejo stuff is a bit better and cheaper.
For a new player you could do just fine with GW stuff. THe best product GW makes is their free painting videos with Duncan on Warhammer TV. He can teach you all the basics you need to know.

Thanks for clearing that up, anon. I'll definitely get Vallejo.

As much as I'd like to play the games, I haven't got it in mind so I'm up for any minis that just might be fun like interesting characters, animals, robots, waifus, etc. I'll check Duncan'd vids out though, thanks.

The basics still apply. Especially his early stuff.
