This is the workhorse of the Imperium. Fuck all use for painting your kits though.
This is a mini post, a stop gap after the Fellblade painting article while I figure out how the fuck I’m going to approach the weathering stages in text.
I’ve previously mentioned Army Painter drybrushes and how good they are for purpose. Clocking in at between £3 and £5 a pop, they’re fairly sturdy brushes if you look after them.
This is what you’re looking for in the shop.
However, a few folk at Corehammer towers were already aware of this, but the discount book shop The Works is a goldmine for paint brushes. While these wont replace your Rosies for standard painting, they WILL come in handy for washing that large tank you’ve just bought, or drybrushing that gun barrel with oil paint.
Note the long ass handles.
I grabbed some of the blue range of nylon brushes in the Gold Taklon range, that were 2 for £3, a tiny one for drybrushing small stuff if the need arose, and a much larger one for standard drybrushes to try out. They feel great in the hand as they have extremely long handles and a shaped rubber grip, which I’d never used on a paint brush before, making them fit nicely when you’re drybrushing a large area. After a solid hammering with metallics, Rub n Buff, and acrylics, they’re absolutely spot on . No bristles falling out, no loss of shape, just look after these with your Masters Brush cleaner and they should last you a good while.
Nice rubber grip so it fits in your grubby mitts perfectly.
These are stupidly cheap and surprisingly good quality for the price. If you have anything larger than a Dreadnought on your to do list, you can do a lot worse than grab a range of these for the bigger projects and they wont break the bank either.
