Which Paintbrush?

[Masot]

Okay before i dive into a army, i'm going to buy the BFSP, paint them, learn the game and persuade my brother to play as the goblins or dwarfs (he likes both so it shouldn't be hard).

I've used the BFSP website and listed all the paints they used, then went to www.vallejopaints.co.uk and spent 30 minutes changing 80% of the GW paints into vallejo item codes to look up later

That was easy because i had the paint color anyway, however i dont know what brushes to buy...both dwarves and nightgoblins are small so a small brush really, a very fi...can anyone give me a size of brush/s that i will need? Or if you use vallejo TO much a item code would be lovely but a size is just as good

Thanks muchly

A good short article on brush sizes is here: http://www.io.com/~beckerdo/minis/miniother/PaintBrushComparison/

I tend to use quite a variety of brush sizes, personally I try to use a '4' or larger for basecoating and most drybrushing, a '2' for practically anything else, and where I have to either a '00' or '0' brush for small details (gems, pupils etc).

Hope that helps.

For brushes I'd recommend the pure sable brushes from EM4 Miniatures (www.em4miniatures.com/). They're the best sable brushes I've used (the GW ones are horrible!).
