I'll chime in on this as well. I agree, Vallejo makes wonderful paint, both their game color line, which directly mimics Games Workshop's colors. and their Model Color line which has a HUGE array of choices. I have used, at some point, reaper (hated it), coat 'd arms (like it, but a bit light on pigment), and what used to be Ral Partha now made by Iron WInd Metals. The Iron wind brand is actually excellent paint if it's available, but all in all, Vallejo is still my first choice.
I really love their bottles, dropper system makes getting the same ratio of paint, or paint to ink etc the same each time.
Good luck!
