Just did a head count(mostly out of boredom) of all of my GW and Vallejo paints(I didn't include things like additives or home made washes). I have 126 15ml dropper bottles, 24 oh which are shades of brown!!!
I'm kinda baffled that I've spend over $400 on paint for my little men over the last 10 years.

So how much acrylic cocaine do you have in your collection? Most popular colors?

I have 20 paints and the basic ink set from GW.

I have between 10 and 15.

I love you, space marines.

I have 137 not including washes

I have 49 of the citadel paints and washes, with space wolf grey and shadow grey being the paints i've bought most of (had to mix them for my airbrush to get my SW army basecoated)

241.

Including Vallejos and extras of some of the GW colours I use most.

Wow i have about 15 right now that may grow depending on my armies.

I have between 50-65, they aren't all in the one place too

26, most of them GW. That said, there are quite a few that I almost never use (like my 4 shades of green).

Really, it's just the colors I use to paint my guard army... all 13 of them...

68 paints - 3 are reaper 16 are the acrylic walmart kind (for terrain) and the rest are GW, then I have 2 washes, 2 Gloss, 1 Matt Varnish

Around 26 colours that I use regularly.

Only 42.

All of them and then some.

4: Cyan, magenta, yellow, black ;D

The full GW set, probably close to half the Vallejo model color range, a handful of the game color range, and about two dozen other odds and ends from other manufacturers. Not to mention pigments, additives, and mediums.

...and that's just what I use for modelling. I've got plenty of artists acrylics, oils, watercolor, gouache, dozens of spraycans, airbrush paints, screenprinting inks, artists inks, milk paints, tempera, fabric paints, paint pencils, and of course, all the necessary mediums, additives, gesso, and so on. I'm sort of obsessed.

I'd probably have a mental breakdown if I knew a dollar amount I've spent on paints. :(

69 pots altogether almost half and half split between Vallejo and GW. No washes at all but several pots of vallejo glaze medium. I also have the big tubes of artists acrylics for terrain projects.

Around 200, I want to move away from GW paints so I just picked up the full Vallejo game colour set for pretty cheap

Im too lazy to count mine up.

But I know theres at least 80 droppers of Vallejo Air, and another 60 or so VMC and VGC droppers. None of the 'GW' paints I have were made in the last 12 years- so technically I still have about 30 old pop tops of various Citadel Colour. The rest are a mix of Testors Model Masters, so reallly old Partha Paint and a few pots of P3.

The full GW range, in the process of replacing them with Vallejo Game Color, and a few from their model and air ranges.

Ha. About 15 including fountain pen inks, tamiya, GW and one tube of artist acryllic (yellow, the most useless color).

37 GW pots, 2 tubes of liquitex for washes, and 7 tubs of Secret Weapon pigments for weathering.

30 of GW pots

100+?

About 200 I'd say. The original GW mega paint set which I think was about 70 paints and inks including all the colours they've now discontinued (all transferred to dropper bottles), the Vallejo Game Colour set which is 70 odd, full sets of foundation and washes, 20 Vallejo Air, 20 P3 paints, 20 Vallejo Model Colour and 8 Tamiya clear colours.

I have a lot more money than sense.

47 GW (including washes and foundation)

Well, I just got 72 Vallejo Paints for Christmas and probably have 40ish GW paints so Geez, 300-400 bucks in paints.

I have at least 2 of each GW paint including the inks. Some colors have 3 or 4 of. Also 1/2 the Reaper Master Range, about 1/4 Tamiyas, some Vallejos, a few Delta Cermacoats, Apple Barrels, and Americanas. Add the spray paints and I have 2 or 3 hundred ^_^

All told, I have probably a gross of craft paint bottles I inherited, of which I use about 5 grays and browns regularly for terrain and black for touching up primer (the rest serve as handles for painting, after the addition of a wad of poster tack to the lids) and about 2 dozen VGC/GW bottles/pots.

Especially since most of what I've been painting recently uses a rather limited palette (e.g. Goff boys), I do 95% of my painting using about a dozen paints/washes.

I have over 175 bottles of paint. Mostly craft paints. But I also have Tamiya and Model Color.
