Brushes come in many shapes and sizes, each with a different use and purpose. At The Army Painter we have three lines of brushes; Hobby, Wargamer, and Masterclass. Each individual brush has been named to make it easy for you to pick the right brush for the job. Our red-handled Hobby brushes feature synthetic bristles and are the perfect introduction to the hobby. The white-handled Wargamer brushes use our signature triangular handle for perfect grip as well as a variation of bristle types including Rotmarder Sable. Our Masterclass brushes are the best of the best! These specialized brushes feature black handles and premium Kolinsky Sable for the ultimate and professional painting experience.
