Hi everyone, what brand of paint brushes are the best for painting miniatures, and whats the best material that the bristles should be made out of. I'm asking because i have some of the GW ones and it seems that they don't last very long, and i do take pretty good care of them.

Most folks I know swear by Winsor and Newton series 7 brushes. I have those and their university series brushes. Perhaps it's just me, but the university brushes tend to hold their point better.

I have the Raphael 8404 in size 1 and 2 and they are fantastic and a bit cheaper compared to the W&N.

Kolinsky sable is the best material. You can probably still get them in Canada. The US has decided to go full slow on allowing their import.

Yeah, the Kolinsky brushes are amazing.
I use either the reaper ones or the secret weapon ones (or you can find at some other art sites).

A nice sable brush with a good, clean tip is always useful.
The W&NS7 are a great brush and you can pick them up on Ebay quite cheap. Just made sure you pick up a standard and a highlighting brush. Makes all the difference just to have a nice brush for edge highlighting (using the side of the brush to light brush the edging).
Great stuff.

Don't ever leave them in a glass of water once you're finished with him, you'll bend the bristles and it'll never be the same again.
FML I have done this a lot. Damn awareness.
