Always been a fan of the much ignored Humbrol Acrylic range (although most will be familiar with their enamel range in those little steel tins). It’s a bit thick out of the pot, but has a WIDE range of colours and a high pigmentation (so usually one coat will do even with yellow). All you need do is remember to thin with water as you use it.

At £1.80 for 14ml it’s not the cheapest, but it’s no-where near GW prices (although apparently these were the paints GW used back in the “hex” pot days). It’s range is also very good for historicals (as they were primarily designed for the military modeller), but I will say their metallic are probably the best I’ve used 🙂

It’s just a pity they don’t do a “starter” box set, so you would have to order individually
