I did have a discussion about paints with our local games workshop manager. All the stupid names are so they can trademark them !

Good paints on the whole though, I must go get some more cans of the white primer because it's really good on the 3D printed stuff.

Sorry about that, I do have to admit I use the games workshop paints all the time, I am also a wargamer, so I use the paints for both railway and war miniatures alike. I also find their names useful, for obvious reasons that I know the back story of the warhammer/40K universe.
OK who took my cake?

Same with me! I discovered the GW/Citadel paint range (and acrylics in general) when I started painting wargaming miniatures and found that Humbrol enamels (which were all I used up to then) really weren't suited to the job. I quickly switched over to using acrylics for regular scale modelling too (though I normally use Revell, Tamiya and Lifecolor for anything that requires a matt finish; most Citadel paints have at least a slight satin finish)

Ive also used 'the army painter' paints and they have more of a matt finish, and the odd Tamiya haha.
