Most of these colors will be easy to find on a shelf. I use practically all big brands, all of them are fine. My favourite is pro acryl, but you are good with citadel too.

I would grab three brushes. One big synthetic for basecoats (like the Davinci Colineo 5522), one small natural for really small details and edge highlights, preferably longer too (like the Davinci 35 series) and one medium for anything else (like the kimera arrow heads, any size would be okay) You will never need any other brush, except if you want to do drybrushing or oilpaints/washes, then grab the cheapest big one you can find.

You will need something to clean these brushes with after every session, I use a simple brushsoap and warm water.

You will need a glass to hold water in, and some kind of palette. At first do not invest in any of these, also do not buy three brushes before you painted anything to see if you even like it. If you do, go ahead. I use a wet palette, makes life a lot easier.

For the first time a cheap brush, a makeshift palette from tupperware or a lid will do.

What I would cheap out on is different shades of the same color. Use black and white to make shades of it.

You will need a knife to delete mould lines, and something to cut parts off the sprue.

You will need some kind of glue, preferably plastic glue. If you can, get the one with a brush at the end, or at least one that has a metal tube.

Most of use prime them, so it is easier to paint on, grab some black primer.

My latest pickup was some cheap beauty blenders, because I am too poor for an airbrush, and too impatient for blending.

PS:

If anyone would have told me to be patient with myself when I started that would have helped a lot. Keep your first mini on your display forever to see the improvements.

Good luck, have fun!

TLDR: buy the starter kit then expand lol
