I too would say to stay away from speed paints. Too many people think that are a quick way to "level up" and skip the beginning stages. Honestly, I think it makes minis look sloppy. For me, it is much better to just start slow and take each step one at a time.
I would highly recommend the Vallejo Basic Color set. You get a good range for a decent price and their paints are very well done and highly rated in the mini community. I bought this set as my first set and still use it all the time. https://www.amazon.com/Vallejo-Basic-Colors-Paint-17ml/dp/B009162PWU/ref=sr\_1\_5?crid=KDJYRXX47ADQ&keywords=vallejo+paint+set&qid=1658840969&sprefix=vallejo+%2Caps%2C107&sr=8-5
Vallejo Model Colors sets are decent quality sets for a good price. Amazon shows it for $28 for 16 colors which is a steal. https://www.amazon.com/Vallejo-Basic-Colors-Paint-17ml/dp/B009162PWU
I'd recommend this set from Reaper and they have another called Layers I believe. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00NTMC49G/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_1YXgFbZF3B5BK
Those will get you making some damn good mints and teach you some good skills.
Then pick up some shade. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0189BIERC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_w0XgFb3VEWAZ0
And this paint set later on when you feel comfortable in your skills. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B009162PWU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_-0XgFbMRFMBNZ
With the above resources you'll be able the paint the starters with ease as you'll have 6 minis to learn with and with the two starter sets you'll have some brushes and paints. Then expand your paints the final paint set.ane get the shade when you want to start washes and watch a few videos on that and dry brushing.and you'll be amazed at what you'll produce in a short amount of time.
I definitely would not start out at $150 worth of paint.
Get a starting selection of base colors like this one from vallejo or this one from Citadel/Games Workshop.
Then buy paints as you need them. This will save you from buying a massive set where you won't use half the paints.
