>>9183207Just buy some vallejo (or MSP if they have them), that's what I use for my 1/72 pilots and I paint tons of them.
And buy a spray primer too if you plan on painting a lot of 1/72 figures. Its important your primer coat be as thin as possible to avoid losing detail.
Citadel paints aren't bad but the bottle suck ass, they will dry out over time no matter what you do. And you mentioned they are pricey. The only thing I'd bother spending money on of theirs is their Chaos Black Primer spray that shit is fucking god tier, perfectly thin coats every fucking time with it.
