<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Noob Question about Brushes"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/8.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Noob Question about Brushes The new edition has drawn me into 40k and I have bought the dark imperium box set and split it with a friend. I've decided on my colour scheme (Blood angels) and the paints I needed but unsure which brushes I need. Purely for painting the Dark imperium models, which brushes do I need to get?
Thanks in advance!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/732644/9490902.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/732644/9490902.page GMT Noob Question about Brushes
I would recommend buying their red spray basecoat to start. The 'How to Paint GW Miniatures" book has blood angel paint progressions for the red, gold, gems, etc.

Only use the glaze brush with washes, they can dry at the base of the brush and harden thus ruining your finer tip brushes. After painting run your brushes under the sink and re-roll the tip in your hand to help preserve them.

Welcome to the hobby! Feel free to ask any other questions!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/732644/9491402.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/732644/9491402.page GMT Noob Question about Brushes
As far as brushes go, I use 20/0 and 18/0 for those smaller details such as eyes and in hard to brush places. Everything else such as washes I use either a size 1 fan brush. Glazes depend on what I am glazing, but I never go lower than size 0 to prevent mucking things up. As for fine detail, I use an eyeliner brush my wife didn't want out of one of her makeup sets. It has long, fine bristles to not only do detailing, but it also works well for edging.

Great for cleaning out your brushes, and lasts for ages. You can also leave some on tge bristles when you re roll them to a point and it helps keep them soft.

As gor brushes, the gw ones are acceptable, however dont buy cheap ones! They will cause more issues for you as you learn to paint. If you have the money then invest in good brushes early such as the windsor and newton 7 series.

Make yourself a wet pallette and research some guides to your chosen chapter on the internet to see how other people paint them and to generate ideas. Always thin your pajnts down too!

Enjoy painting, and practice will make you better. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/732644/9491501.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/732644/9491501.page GMT Noob Question about Brushes If they are could you link me to a good starting set of them? ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/732644/9491595.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/732644/9491595.page GMT Noob Question about Brushes
Series 22 and Series 33 are popular. Good brushes and they ship stupid fast (particularly within the UK).

Our friends across the pond rave about Rosmary an Co, but they seem to be hard to get in the UK. Amazon will supply most things i think.

As for drybrushes, its the only time uou want cheaper brushes. As stated, its really hard on your brush. Normal brushes will do for everything else if you wash them out regulary while painting and clean them if moving from a wash to a glaze etc]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/732644/9492298.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/732644/9492298.page GMT Noob Question about Brushes

Which is odd, considering their website puts them in Keighley, West Yorkshire.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/732644/9492400.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/732644/9492400.page GMT Noob Question about Brushes

Very strange, as the only time i have done an amazon search for them they have only been in the US store! And it only seems to be people stateside who rave about them.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/732644/9493526.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/732644/9493526.page GMT
