Review: Regiment Brush is a workhorse! - I have to say when I got these I was a little hesitant. Mostly because I figured I needed to spend an arm or a leg for a good set of brushes. This set so far (haven't had a chance to use the big brushes yet) has been amazing. 1. Regiment - this brush is a workhorse. The other day I found myself base coating one of my guys for my kill team, and I only used this brush. It kept a fine point the entire time. The brush holds paint really well. 2. Character - this brush i tend to use when i need a little more detail work that the regiment cant get to, but that i still need more paint on my brush than their detail brushes. 3. Detail - this i used for highlighting. very happy with the brush being able to hold a point and using the side of the brush for edges works like a charm. 4. Insane Detail - so far i only used this to paint in some space marine eyes. Did the job with no issue. 5. Psycho - I used this to highlight the eyes from my space marine, because why not... this brush is super small and short, but it works. 6. Monster - I used this to paint some scenery. This brush also could be used for a wash brush. I liked it and it too maintained its point throughout the job. The rest of the brushes I have yet to use, but as I do I will update this post. For the price and what you get these brushes are amazing. They all seem to hold a point really well, and hold a decent amount of paint in the bristles for applying paint. I do make sure to clean my brushes after I'm done with a painting session, and lay them flat to dry vs standing up. With proper care these brushes should last a good bit. I will say if you only want to buy one brush from this set I would say consider getting the Regiment. I can't recommend that brush enough. Something else of note, most of the brushes have a triangle shape to their handles, and I personally find this to be really comfortable. Normally after an hour of painting my hand will start to hurt, but with these that didn't seem to be a problem. Also like most Army Painter sets this set did come with their painting guide. I read through it, and it really good for new people. Wish i had that when I started. All in all 5 out of 5! Update: The small dry brush is meh. I prefer a brush with stiffer bristles for that. It could be used for something else. The regiment is still holding strong. Still a 5 star set in my mind.
Review: Army Painter makes some really good brushes! - I’ve been a miniature painter since the early 90’s, back when Warhammer was still in its growth stage. I’ve used a lot of brushes with both natural hair and man made materials and I find that I keep coming back to the brushes made by The Army Painter. They are very good quality and seem to last for quite a long time. They are also affordable, especially I feel when compared to the brushes that are being put out by their competitors. Over the years I’ve purchased two of these sets. This set offers a great value and is a great starter set for someone who is just getting started painting miniatures. It has a good variety with brush that could be used for painting larger surfaces all the way down to brushes that are perfect for painting the eyes on tiny people with little guns! Very happy with these brushes and I think they are great for both beginners and pro painter alike.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What sizes are the detail brushes?**
A: None of the detail brushes are numbered. The "Detail" brush seems smaller than a 10/0 brush I have. The "Insane Detail" is even smaller and "The Psycho" brush is smaller than that.

**Q: can I use this brushes  with enamel paints and thinners?**
A: I have not used these with enamel, but in the past when I used enamels and acrylics I used the same brushes for each.

**Q: Which brushes are Synthetic and which are Sable?**
A: I do believe it is just ONE brush that comes as a sable brush, the rest are synthetic. I'd save your money and just buy a Windsor and newton series seven brush, you will be way happier with your purchase. I regret buying this set as I wasn't happy with 'some' of the brushes and ended up buying a real sable hair brush anyways.

*by D***P on February 11, 2025*

I am absolutely thrilled with The Army Painter Paint Brush Set! The variety of sizes in this set is perfect for tackling all types of miniature painting. From base coats to fine details, these brushes cover it all. I was impressed by the precision I could achieve with the smallest brush. It makes the small details like faces actually doable. The build quality is fantastic as well. These brushes feel sturdy and well-made. I'm still new to the miniature painting hobby, so I'm no expert when it comes to brushes, but I was impressed with these, and think I'll be using them for a long time.
