I suggest Coat d'Arms as an alternative to Citadel Paints for 2 very important reasons first, they are slightly cheaper; and second Coat d'Arms made the original Citadel Paints so not only do most of the colour match any painting guide that refers to Citadel Paints but they are very high quality too.

Some people will recommend Vallejo Paints but personally I find them very thin, watery and lacking in strong pigment - they also take a long time to dry compared to Citadel and Coat d'Arms

Privateer Press's formula P3 are rather good and appear to be made by Coat d'Arms judging by the identical pots and the consistency of the paint

Humbrol and Tamiya paints are available most widely but are rather expensive (more than Citadel!), the quality is not the best and sometimes have problems sticking to plastics

Finally avoid any make of enamel paints all together!
