First paints to buy for FDM tyranids + necrons

Greetings.

As someone that got into FDM 3d printing a few months ago, i finnally got to the point i can produce decent minis for warhammer.

Given that, i suck at everything arts related and thus i know nothing about it. Queue a few days of videos and AI questioning, and im currently struggling on which kits to buy to start (taking into account future kits i might get).

For simplicity's sake, iv decided on Vallejo stuff, but im currently strugging with the exact kits i find vs whats recommended (as the AI says a kit with a link, i see the kit, search for the name, and i find another vallejo kit with distinct aspect).

Currently im deciding between (as a base):

vallejo game colour set 16: 72299 - 38€ amazon spain

or

vallejo game colour set 16 - 54€ amazon spain (Ai linked this one)
or

Vallejo Model Color Acrylic Paint Set Basic Colors USA: 40€ amazon spain

PLUS a mettalics kit:

Vallejo Model Color Set of Acrylic Paint Metallic Effects 71181 - 34€ amazon es
or
Vallejo Game Color Leather and Metal 72189 - 42€ amazon es

-----

So i would love y'all recomendations on these and a few other questions like:

Should i get a black grey or white primer?

Brushes recomendations for scrubs.

Any varnish or something i need for after painting?

Thanks for all the help!

Fresh snapmaker orca install, onlypla and pa-cf selectable.

Greetings.

I have owned a u1 for 3 months and have been using snapmaker orca with no issues on my main laptop.

Sadly, I had to send it to a repair shop, and thus, I decided to install the latest version of snapmaker orca on my old laptop.

Sadly, on this laptop, my filament selection is completely different. On main PC I had all sorts of materials (like petg) but on the fresh install I only see the ones above.

Been looking for a bit in how to fix thisz but haven't been able to, so I'd appreciate any help.

Thanks in advance!
