This was my first time painting minis as well. We actually live across the street from a Michaels and asked one of the employees there that avidly paints. He said that he usually only gets his brushes from Michaels and told us to try out Reaper mini paints or citadel paints. We went with Reaper paints, worked out well. =D For sealing and priming, we went ahead and just got krylon white primer and krylon clear gloss sealer.
All depends on if you have a preference of enamel over acrylic.
Citadel used to have a starter kit.
Easiest way to get started would be to make a list of what colors you want/need and head to your flgs. Buy the paints and a variety of brushes, can or pot of primer. Depending on your figures and the parting line, either a razor knife or fine grit sanding paper.
Wash. Let dry. Inspect. Primer. Inspect. Trim if needed. Sand if needed. Re-primer if needed. Paint. Generally start with the lighter colors. Be more careful with the darker colors.

Nah, I think that looks pretty sweet.
Just got done painting the Core Set. Hopefully you won't find these too horrible:
Personal taste thing, I'd have reversed Legacy's and Tachyon's hair colors.
They look fantastic.
