I’m a little nervous to start painting

So this might sound a little silly, but I’m nervous to put paint to my models. I don’t know why, I guess a fear of messing up and it being ugly. It’s been years since I last painted.

I’m hoping my plan will not be complicated but if I can get any tips or advice to get back into the hobby side, I would appreciate that.

I plan on going over the model in Russ Grey and detailing in the Abaddon Black. Metallics for bolter, chainsword, and details. The white I will use to paint over the pouches and space wolves bits so that way the contrast Cygor Brown and Skeleton Horde will show up better. The Red and Averland for the Bloodclaw markings and Red for the Deathwolves base. Then my shades and Astrogranite for easy basing.

I just and definitely nervous about making an ugly paint job and having to try to remove paint and start over.

Does my paint plan sound good? I know I left out highlights, but I’m not sure if I want to put that effort in. On characters for sure, but I want to get to playing. Anything I should do or focus on? Or just tips to not overthink this lol
