Hello again, as a fellow hobby painter and overall wargaming enthusiast I'm always curious what other painters prefer in their techniques and equipment. So, I decided to create a thread for all of us to share what their favorite modeling/painting brush is.

Here's how it works, simply state what brush you love, the brand, and a short description why. For example my favorite:

Army Painter:Large Drybrush

This brush has a medium flat tip with an angled edge, the perfect drybrush imo with multiple uses outside drybrushing, such as laying down basecoats and painting tanks and large creatures.

Any 5/0 or smaller brush. Fine details are key to a great looking mini. And if need be, these really fine brushes can cover large areas on infantry to terminator sized models with ease.

Right now, my largest brush i use is a size 1, and the smallest is a 10/0.

I most often use 0/1 size brushes.

The smallest I have is a 4/0. The largest is a 1/2" flat pure sable. The rest range from 2-3/0.

My favourite brush is the one I happen to be using at the time. They are simply tools.

I normally grab the smallest brush possible in hobby lobby
it takes a while for everything but i like that i can do some form of detail

At the minute I'm just using a GW standard brush and a GW fine detail brush, I really do need to go down to the local art shop and buy some better brushes
