I suggest also picking a bottle of Citadel Agrax Earthshade or Nuln Oil. They're washes, which can really help with picking out details and shading once you've put on your basic colors. Downside is that they're $8.50 a (rather small) bottle; I recommend them because they are consistently good and widely available. If you don't want to spend the money, there are a number of DIY methods of getting the same result, or washes by other manufacturers like Army Painter that are cheaper (but usually a little harder to find in a brick & mortar store).
