Honestly, a mix.

GW - partly for convenience, but the base colours and shades are really good.

Foundry - convenience again, as my daughter has guitar lessons about 10 minutes from their shop, and I do like several of their triads a lot.

Vallejo Model Colour used to be my go-to brand for reds and yellows. Carmine Red and Lemon Yellow are still favourites, but GW Mephiston Red and Averland Sunset get a lot of use as well.

And a mix of other stuff - Coat d'Arms, P3, any colour or group that takes my fancy. P3 Menoth White, Morrow White and... White are a great combination for linen and warmer whites than highlighting up from grey or blue.

Always fancied trying Reaper - maybe one day. ANd Army Painter washes sound good. Been tinkering with my own home-made washes too, with some OK results.

For terrain, Anita's Craft range of acrylics were great, but I'm having trouble finding them locally so I tend to go with cheap acrylic gloop these days. Reeves I think?

Sure I read somewhere that American craft acrylic brands were significantly better quality than British ones - I certainly wouldn't use Anitas for figures.

Still on GW's paints but they are eventually replaced by Vallejo Paints. AV is cheaper and better, also Vallejo's paints don't get lumpy after half a year passed.

I always use Citadel. A little pricey but it always works the best for me .

I use many types of paint. In my opinion if you don’t get any paint distortion, use whatever works for your interest.
