What paint do you guys recommend for minis? I want one that is pretty good, but not $10 a bottle.

And definitely invest mostly in flat (matte) paints; not gloss ones. If youre only going to paint SWM, you will rarely use gloss paints. Perhaps only get black/white/gray gloss (you know, the colors you will use the most) in addition to the flat versions of those. If the need arises for an exotic paint color, you can either try mixing what ones you have (this works pretty well actually), or just buy that specific color. Also dont forget to get gold, silver, all those metalic paints. They look really cool on minis! Also, getting a couple of washes (basically super watered down paints to give the shaded look in crevises and lines) such as Brown and gray/black would be really helpful when doing the finishing touches on your customs.
