1 At the moment all the colours I have is the one from the MoM paint set (and some even older colour from a chaos warrior starter set), so of course I would need more colours than them, what is the best way to begin to get colours to my figures? Is the "Hobby starter set" worth the money for example?
If you have the inclination, this can save you a lot wrt to getting different paints:
http://www.one-ring.co.uk/phpBB2/kb.php ... ticle&k=84You only need the primary colors, and then you can mix what you want. You'll probably want some metals though, the essentials IMHO are Tin Bitz, Chainmail and Shining Gold. A couple of washes will also help, the essentials being Badab Black, Devlan Mud and Ogryn Flesh.
You could go with non-GW paints, which are cheaper, but personally I don't have a great eye for color, and I find it more effective to follow the painting guides others have created, which tend to refer to the GW colors.

From what I have seen and played with a friend of mine yesterday SBG is really fun and of course I would like to go on with it. So my question here is, what is the best way to move on with it? Would it be good to buy the Fellowship book? (it looked like in a post I read in the forum that it's a lot of minis you have to get to play through the scenarios) Or should I like make up my own scenarios if possible and just buy the "coolest" minis I'm able to buy and paint and then make the best out of it?
I wouldn't buy the Fellowship book just yet, as there are quite a few different and unrelated figures you need to purchase. For example, there are scenarios in that book with Dunedain and Ringwraiths, but unless you build an army around these figures later, you probably won't use them again, so it's a waste. Instead I'd build up your armies, get a couple heroes and prowlers for your goblins, and work on building up a Good side force with a core of plastic figures and some metal elites and heroes. In friendly games of course you can always proxy in your plastic warriors as elites or captains, as long as you mark/paint them clearly in some way.
When you can afford it, pick up Legions of Middle Earth, there are some great generic scenarios in there that will give you a different game every time.
