I’ve been using The Army Painter’s Masterclass Drybrush Set lately and have liked it.

A set of generic makeup brushes will be your best bet. Super cheap and excellent for the job of drybrushing.

This set is only ~10$ but it's just an example of what they look like, any such product will do:

(and you get extra sponges for sponging

)

Ones I got from my wife (she had a spare set) are still going strong after ~2 years. I do not drybrush everything in sight, but it happens often enough - for example a lot of my models had 3 drybrushing stages of grey to white in preparation for slapchop Contrasts.

The Artify Drybrush Set on Amazon is very good and Juan Hidalgo has an affiliate link on his videos that you can use to save a little bit on the price.

I've been using the Army Painter Masterclass Drybrushes for my Tyranid army.

They've seen a lot of use and are holding up well.

My only criticism would be that the small brush's bristles might be a bit too small (or I've ruined them somehow).

For bigger models and terrain though they're perfect!

I'll give a chance to locally produced brand called MiniWarPaint. If they failed my expectations gonna order army painter masterclass set

The good thing about drybrushes is busted, old or subpar ones can still be useful for terrain projects or vehicles etc.
