Hello Everyone! so my birthday is coming up and i'm getting these games for my birthday and was wondering what paint i need and what to get
i was looking at getting a bundle or exact paints and was wanting to see if any of these would work or be good for the kits
citadel paints (no bundles i can find so would need exact paints)
pro acryl 69 Color Mega Set
Vallejo paint set (not sure which one)
army painter warpaints fanatic mega set
AK Acrylics set (not sure which one)
Scale75 Paint Set
if anyone knows which would help or be enough please leme know! and thank you! also which would work for airbrushes

You’re getting all of that for your bday?

Have you ever painted or built miniatures before?

I mean that’s like 2 years of models worth haha you should probably get less.

Similarly, don’t go all in on a paint set unless you know you like the brand.

Generally I recommend folks get a few bottles from different ranges while they figure out what they like about the brands and it helps control costs cause you just buy for your current project.

Like if you’re buying those army boxes you’re like gonna use more of fewer colours, than you will have an use for singles of dozens of colours.

Solid brands are:

citadel, ak3rd, proacryl, vallejo game, vallejo model, army painter fanatic.

You can’t really go wrong with any smattering of those.

Pro Acryl set is going to be enough to set you up forever technically.

Vallejo is top tier as well, just harder to assemble a set of 60+. I'd stick with Game Color to start.

AK is arguably better than PA or Vallejo for some people but same deal as Vallejo for a set of 60+ paints

Scale is good paints if you are looking for less opacity but that's not for everyone.

I'd def agree with him, and get some from multiple ranges to see which you like more. I went full Pro Acryl because they are made 10 miles from my house but I use like 5 other brands of paint regularly despite not "needing" anything
