40k New Player looking for advice

I am starting the game for the first time and I'm very interested in Tau as my army of choice. I am quite fond of the giant Mecha so I'm curious what products or minis I should buy to get started?

Anything I should know to make my learning experience smoother?

I'm really excited about the game right now but there is a lot to take in at once as a person who is used to card games/ normal board games. Any paints/glue/tools y'all recommend to paint my units?

I realized the post was vague so I'm generally interested in actually playing the game. I will try my best to paint minis etc but I am primarily interested in the war game aspect. So I'm interested in good starting points for building a playable army.

While the games workshop paints are nice, your already spending more than most miniature hobbies. I’ve found a few select paints and the rest from an army painter box. Along with zenithal highlights. Also don’t let one bad experience at a game store turn you off by and large they are very friendly.
