Highly recommend this set over the stuff at hobby lobby I’ve bought several brushes from hobby lobby and have liked none of as much as the brushes from this set
A few things are going sideways here.
​
First of all, you don't need every paint. You just don't. Even if you want all the colors, there are other paint companies, I'll link a few. Everyone has their own opinons, of course, on the quality of the various paints. These still range from 1-200 dollars for the paints, but still, a far cry less then you must be paying GW.

If you go for the Army Painter large Paint set, the Army Painter Brush Set, and get Dark Imperium for around 135.00 on Ebay or Amazon, you are looking at 270.00. You can find pretty much every tool that Citadel sells much cheaper elsewhere in the off brand. I don't even use a scraper for example, I use files and cheap craft knife.
I use gw paints, mainly because I just always have, and I'm used to them, but if you wanna use some better quality, most people recommend vallejo or army painter. You can get a pretty good start with a variety of colors for army painter on Amazon for a pretty good price.

And I know you didn't, but I use their brushes, this set is a good starting point.

So far I have found this online:
https://www.amazon.com/Hobby-Starter-Mega-Brush-Set/dp/B00HC8H4EI/ref=sr_1_4?s=toys-and-games&srs=7513501011&ie=UTF8&qid=1482729498&sr=1-4
If so, I can get these now in the process now and get Tamiya Plastic Cement 20ml. Just need to get clippers next, I don't think there is much a difference along with a hobby knife to shave down plastic layout.
Those sets actually look really awesome and right in the price range I was willing to spend. Might grab both! Thanks for the recommendation.
For brushes I saw army painter has this set it looks like it has the brushes you recommend and then some. Have you found the bristles of these brushes stay together well? I know on small brushes you will always have some minor separation because of their size.
Also what do you use to clean your brushes? I figured id pick some of this Master Brush Cleaner while i'm at it.
