it''s all about technique, you can have the worst brushes and bad paints, but with a good technique you can work around these bad things. Still, we gotta keep practising!

[@40-forty-plus]

2 minutes in and Lucas explains his hair...thank you :P

[@tdholman]

I think it would be interesting to show us two minis painted in the same amount of time, one with the crap brushes, and one with a quality brush. Then we can see how it affects the paint job, because to be honest, your paint jobs on the minis are as good or better than I get using quality brushes. So by showing us two models, both painted by the same artist, but with the good and bad tools you can show us how quality tools impact the final product.

It is kind of depressing that you guys are using the worst brushes in the world and are still painting a million times better than I ever will :) But I really enjoyed the video!

[@strinity511]

I was thinking the same thing, lol. These guys are extremely talented.

[@truthteller880]

Don't feel too bad, even with the worst tools the tools still put paint on the model. And the real way they lose is the time they waste with these brushes, since it becomes so much harder.

[@mattbaxter688]

I'm gonna start using these brushes as a "challange" "Yeah my paint job is shit because I challenge myself"🙄

[@AluminiumPanda6]

This is a neat video because it shows how your technique carries you further than equipment. The results honestly look really good for what you had to work with, I was surprised by that first brush results in particular 🤣 my attempt with that thing probably would have looked like an angry toddler got a hold of my minis and tried painting them.

[@TheThewhatnow]

@@raccoonhatcity7627 I paint for myself, not anybody else. Am as good as Emil? Hell no. But I would give it a damn good effort. I’m not your typical Australian. There’s a preconceived notion that “Aussies” are laid back, easy going people who are a bit backward. And that’s true for some just like anywhere else. I spent my formative years in England so I’m actually well spoken, well cultured and extremely intelligent. I really enjoy the hobby. The great thing about it is anyone can do it. Not everyone can be as good as the pros are. But does that really matter? I know Emil and Lucas were joking. My reply was tongue in cheek.

[@Scabaz]

@@raccoonhatcity7627no of course we didn’t challenge them to a paint off. We are Aussies and everyone knows Australians can’t paint

[@Tectonix26]

[@terryerickson7900]

I have some of those brushes with the big and triangular handles. For me the large handle helps as I have fat fingers and some hand/wrist pain when working with small things. And they don’t roll away when you set them down.

[@neonwolf1205]

Watching this while painting Commander Dante with my brand new Squidmar Brushes was kinda hilarious lol

[@patrickpatrick5105]

I have a version of the artistik brushes. They were a great starter brush set, but eventually started to bend at the tip rather quickly.

[@TheLostCrusader-q8c]

Emil has been really attacking Australian painters lately. Now, I may put my shades on the top and highlights on the bottom with our upside-down miniatures. But I think i can do a pretty decent paint job.

[@jameslodge4822]

when i saw the artist brush i looked up as i was using those exact ones for basing

[@CyberWallX]

The "Artist Brush" set was the first I owned after youtube creators told me to start out with cheap artificial ones. After a couple of days I switched to Artis Opus, but I still use the Artis Brush set for shading and effect colors, they are okay indeed. PS: The Kristy Rice incident is a great example of why amazon sux these days (and Temu, Wish etc. also play a role in this).

[@adamfritz84]

I have the "no.3 set" of brushes and like them alot. I use them to paint minis and detail model cars, more so than my "army painter" specific set. As someone with nerve damage, i particularly like the ergonomic handle

[@Auriorium]

As someone who used revel paint brushes, those are really only good for some school level work. Like applying aquarelle paints onto paper.

[@CarnageCoon]

[@SneakyToerag]

Having scrubbed clean a 100+ classic Heroquest minis I got on ebay this week with horrific paintjobs (house paint!), it was nice to see Heroquest minis painted well, albeit with terrible brushes! Thanks!

[@GanjaCoyote]

The Xacto Knife coming out to trim off the problem brush hairs unlocked a memory for me of 'fixing' my brushes back in the day just like that. All those different sizes labeled '0' makes me think that knockoff company just copied the design off of one brush and had no idea that it was supposed to indicate the size.

[@ronwingrove683]

The bit I always think is fun is the way you use Heroquest minis as your disposable "test" painting subjects.

[@guleri]

I find it amazing that it said 1 or 9 on the brush you got that was reviewed by an Australian. I am impressed by how you can paint to such a high standard even though you use so bad brushes.

For any new painters from the U.K. the Poundland brushes are legit! My £1 size 2 round is my favourite brush 😂

[@AcoylteKraven82]

Another good video and actually pretty informative for people that are trying to find a good mixture of good but cheap brushes…… kinda lol Honestly there are a lot of “bad brushes” out there…. But I guess depending on your definition of “bad” would determine how someone views it! Personally if the brush is almost immediately falling apart, the hairs are falling out, the hairs don’t spread the paint the correct way then I would consider them as a “bad brush”! But if it’s none of those things and I can figure out at least some use for them then I would still give them over 2 stars! The only time that would change is if the brush is promoted as a detail brush and the tip is so thick that you can barely do the base coat properly, now I would have issues again! But I can still use them for something!?! That’s why I’ll buy a bit more expensive brushes for my detail painting, but I will also buy cheap brushes for everything else!!!

[@AcoylteKraven82]

But also, once someone realizes how Amazon works and who you are “actually buying” these things from, if you still choose to buy off of Amazon then that’s your own fault for getting ripped off!!! Just saying

[@zeke_a_deke483]

You should try painting miniatures with paint pens. Jazza attempted it with ohuhu paint pens and it looks like it may be interesting.

[@fluxxNZ]

i got some of those blue handle size 0's, id like to think 0.1 - 0.9 :-) but they are fine for applying pinwashes, decal solution, fine touchup painting etc. but would not be figure painting anything with them.

[@ShameyBaby]

‘Put the head on the nail’ - this will be how I say this from now on! 😂

[@benmiles00]

I'd love to just use my Raphael brushes all the time but they are now $40+ each so I really need to find other brushes to use for the regular stuff and save my Raphael for the fine work. But they are such wonderful brushes to use I just keep defaulting back to them. I found the Rosemary & Co tips to be too thin and small so don't hold enough paint. I can't really justify the extra $10 for a W&N brush. I'm kicking myself for not buying 5x size 1 brushes when they were cheaper. Doh!

[@RuthlessMojo]

I’ve always found that gum Arabic or hairspray to be great at holding a brushes’ shape particularly if it’s soft and won’t form a tip properly. You can apply it, shape the tip and leave it for a day or two. Then you can rinse the brush carefully making sure to hold its shape. Think of it as paint brush viagra.

[@Dark0Storm]

I can't help thinking this vid was an excuse to get a Heroquest set painted up... 😊

[@gsresener]

i bet you guys could paint amazing stuff even without brushes (yes, that's a challange!)

[@gregmccormack5709]

I feel like you guys are super generous..... If I would have received the wrong number/type/size brush they get a zero/5. Simply receiving a "usable" brush doesnt mean a 1 in my opinion, sellers need to get their descriptions right. Great Video and at the end of the day you get what you pay for.

[@quiffed1]

In the defense of the seller, this is because of how Amazon aggregates listings. The first company that sold this item will have been selling all nine probably for a lot more. this seller will have added their 1 item onto Amazon and Amazon will have just gone "Same thing" and added it to the existing listing. Because they are much cheaper as they are only selling one they then show first on the listing.

My soon to be 10 year old daughter wants to get into warhammer and is asking if i can buy her stuff to get started. If you can spare a few minutes id appreciate your opinion on what is a good starter brush/s and what paint to get as i have no idea where to start. FYI she wants to paint High Elves

[@lb7564]

Hi :) just in case you don’t get their answer. Two things that I learned while getting into the hobby. 1. I wish that I tried different paint brands before buying a larger amount of colours just to find the kind I really like. The easiest to use so far in my opinion; AK interactive paints and Citadel paints. Just a little warning about the citadel, they dry easily if you don’t close them properly (don’t just press on the front of the lid, press by the hinge also and clean the lid now and then.) Other paints I’ve tried needed some thinning to behave, I like them but they are not really beginner friendly . Speed paints and contrast are great but sort of hard to use, mistakes can’t be covered up or corrected without additional opaque paints. 2. Invest in good quality brushes, it is worth it and use a bit larger brushes than you think would be suitable. The smallest ones are a pain in some ways. Also don’t buy really cheap natural hair brushes, they are the worst because of the softness mentioned but also because they are the only kind that seems to lose bristles that get stuck in your paint job, invest the same amount in synthetics instead if you don’t want to invest in more expensive hair brushes. I enjoy my semi expensive synthetic brushes the most I think because they are a bit stiffer than the natural hair and I don’t feel as precious about them. A really good natural hair brush is hard to beat though. Hope this helps :) its so cool that your daughter wants to get into the hobby :) I hope she finds a great community when she gets out there!
