im thinking about buying the Foundation Paint Set.
when painting will i use most of the colors or will it be a waste to buy it?

It will help to no end.
for bright coloured armies (yellows, greens, oranges) then it gives a solid base colour to work from, saving you hours of time and still looking good.

Sometimes it can be used to help with shading.
On dark models you can basecoat black, then use a foundation colour as a 1st colour then build from that.

To be honest, i think its a "must have" much the same as the washes.

Two weeks ago if you had asked this I would say 100% to buy the full set and the new GW inks as well. However, two weeks ago, I saw that Velleho had come out with their own range of colors and inks that look surprisingly like the GW foundations and the inks have an extra color as well. So, no, I would not recommend the GW foundations at this time.

The site im planning to buy from sells the set for a good price so i think i will buy it

And about washes: i have read alot of good stuff about the brown and black washes but not anything about the others.
