I bought a bunch of the MSPHD paints on ebay and I have to say they are some of the bst paints I’ve come across. Excellent coverage, vibrant colours and some nice subtle shades in there too.

Still, not being a afficionado of paint sets I’ll give you the nod if you say Reaper offers the widest selection.
