Are there any good Foundation-style paints that aren’t made by GW? My local store doesn’t sell the GW ones but has a range of other paints. I’d really like to do just one coat on my legions of plastic converted BFSP HGs rather than basecoating (don’t have anywhere to spray either).
I think I’ll go for a lightish brown, almost the classic GW colour scheme for hobgobs, so they don’t look immediately like Night Goblins.

Hmm, don’t know of any, however you could check with your local GW if they have any light brown spray lying around in the back (iirc, they used to do a whole load of different colours as spray paint, rather than just the black and white they sell now…).

Vallejo model and game colours are quite like foundation paints. They are super opaque, cheaper than GW colours, and have a cult reputation among modellers and gamers alike. I have some here and I am quite fond of them.

Yep, I use Vallejo, and apart from the annoying squirty bottle they are excellent.

If you want to speed up the painting time, try dipping.

I must second the vallejo paints, the model colours have some great natural tones . They have a good coverage though not as great as the foundation paints I guess (haven’t got any). Sometimes you’ll have to use a few layers. The bottles do make for better dosage and once you get used to it you don’t want to use anything else :P. Don’t get their metallics though, they are to shiny and flakey. I also recommend their inks
