As you've probably seen there are loads of good painting resources spread across the Internet, but if you're after a lot of good advice in one place then you could do a lot worse than grab a copy of How To Paint Citadel Miniatures from Games Workshop. It can be had cheaper than the GW RRP from various other places, and there's probably a copy or two on Ebay as well - just be aware that there's an older version of the book with a similar cover that won't reference the newer foundation paints and washes in the GW range. Obviously the book only has examples of painting models in the WFB, W40K and LotR ranges, but the techniques are completely transferable. I'll try and remember to bring my copy along to the meeting tonight so you can have a look.

I've only used GW paints so far myself so can't offer a comparison to other ranges, but I've found there's a good choice of colour, the foundation paints give good coverage, and the washes work well.
