Find out exactly which brushes come in The Army Painter GameMaster Character Brush Set and what each is best for painting miniature details.
Quick answer
The GameMaster Character Brush Set contains three brushes: a detail brush, a fine detail brush, and a character brush. Together they cover base coating, layering, and highlighting on miniatures.
Why three brushes instead of one
Switching between brush sizes saves time and keeps paint consistency. A single brush wears faster when you constantly change between broad base coats and tiny dot work. The set gives you a dedicated tool for each stage of character painting.
What the set does not include
The set does not include a wash brush, drybrush, or large base-coat brush. If you plan to prime or base large surfaces like vehicles or terrain, you will need a separate flat or drybrush. For most character and infantry work, these three sizes are sufficient.
FAQ: What brushes are in the set
- What is the largest brush in the set?
- The character brush is the largest. It is designed for base coating larger areas like cloaks, armor plates, and skin sections on 28-32mm scale miniatures. Use this brush for the first layer on most character surfaces.
- What is the medium brush for?
- The detail brush handles layering, highlights, and mid-sized details such as pouches, belts, and weapon grips. It is the most used brush in the set. Keep this brush loaded for most of your painting steps.
- What is the smallest brush for?
- The fine detail brush is for eyes, pupils, tiny gems, script, and edge highlights on sharp armor ridges. Its fine tip lets you place paint exactly where you want it. Reserve this brush for final touches to avoid tip damage.
