Correct. They don't come fully assembled or painted. But there's very healthy secondary markets. Both for used assembled/painted models. Or commissioning another hobbyist to build/paint your army exactly how you like it... if you have the funds and patience.
Unlike a tabletop game like X-Wing or Armada. A large part of Warhammer is the building/painting your army/squad to make it your own.
I buy quite a bit used already assembled and painted from eBay or /r/Miniswap because I like to collect more factions than I have time to assemble and paint. Often times you can find quite the deal, getting roughly assembled and painted models for less than the cost of new.
Also as /u/Princerombur mentioned, Games Workshop does have an "Easy to Assemble" line of models, that are not only quick push fit assembly, but are also already colored plastic in the faction's primary color.

If it's something you are interested in trying, but unsure if the assembly/painting or even play is something you want to try. 40k First Strike or AoS Storm Strike are inexpensive box sets that will teach you the rules to the SciFi 40k or Fantasy Age of Sigmar wargames with push fit, pre-colored plastic versions of the models.
If after learning the rules, it's something that tickles your interest, you can grab a grey or black rattle can spray primer, a 40k or AoS painting starter sets and see if that part of the game/hobby works for you as well.
To top that off, unless participating in a major event, you do not actually need to paint your models, just assemble (or buy used already assembled). You certainly don't need to paint them up to the works of art I'm sure you've see online.
If you do want to do some painting, you can actually get by with a very quick and simple process, using very few paints. Spray a color primer on it that's the majority of the models color, often the same across your entire army. It's usually the armor, cape or skin color. Then, use 2 or 3 colors to pick out and brush on some extra details, things like armor trim, weapon, or leather. Don't need to get all the details, just in a few spots. Then, cover the entire model in a black or brown wash. It will settle into all the recesses, giving the model depth and letting you see all those details.
