How to get started painting RPG miniatures without going broke

I will take umbrage at a lot of assembly and difficult to transport.
Yes for some of them there is enough assembly I wouldn’t give them to a novice but there are other models and choice that are not as evil. On the other hand the more complicated ones like your bog standard space marine (why they make the most popular army foot soldiers something I wouldn’t throw at a novice boggles me) are set up in a way to make it easy to reposition arms, hands, heads, etc. to really make every mini just a bit different without a lot of hard work.
As far as transport the plastic makes it awesome as they survive the random bumps and accidental drops much better and repair a lot easier. While you don’t want to just throw them in a box they are not any more of a hassle than equivalent minis.
