Ye Olde Inn

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Reaper-Master-Series-Paint-Set-70-Colors-All-New-/351128809498 would be an example. At $3/bottle total would end up around $210. I'd love to get something like this for say $50 but I can still dream. Was wondering how everyone gets their paints, if it was as a set all at once or as you could afford it bottle by bottle.

I buy them in bulks, re-sell doublets and unneeded, then buy picky choices.

I now have the full Citadel range (old and new both), many Vallejo Game Colors, even more Vallejo Model Color,
plus elite picks from Reaper (golden blonde), Army Painter (black), Formula P3 (Arcane Blue, Menoth White, Trollblood highlight), Vallejo Panzer Aces, Vallejo Model Air (hull red - very important color, that one!),
Vallejo Liquid Silvers and Golds,
some W&N oils for making washes, some Secret Weapon washes and Ral Partha inks...
Many spray primers from Citadel and Army Painter,
and many a medium, mostly by Vallejo.

All bulked in over the course of a year now in big to huge collections, always taking care of never paying more than 1 € per paint pot on average, many a pot to be resold in "pick 10 pots auctions".

I use Model Color and Game Color where possible for layering,
Vallejo Liquid golds and silvers,
Citadel Washes and Metallics.

I now look for Minitaire Ghost tints and the old Reaper Pro Series, which is practically impossible to find in germany, because, well, it has been discontinued.
Now that I write this all down, I realize I have a paint collection including some I have for the collecting's use ... which defines a collection.

Who even asked for all that info?

Well you have become known as the derailer as your title states. What you said was what I was hoping to get info on. I'm still just starting but trying to get pointers and any general info I can. I'd like to one day have a nice collection of paints and whatnot, all in due time...

[/derail] Back to topic of ebay people!

I haven't derailed a topic in a long time.
I guess you bring it out in me... :cheese:

Another barbarian quest pack.

And it says complete.. but pretty sure its incomplete. For the Elf Quest pack.

Very tempted to bid on both.

Unable to see the cards but the tiles are double-sided. It appears complete.
