Kimera Brushes
I recently acquired two Kolinsky Sable natural bristle Kimera brushes and tested them for painting miniatures. From 5 possible sizes I took:
- N0 arrow point, according to the description on the website, is intended for drawing eyes, blending and multi-purpose
- N00 round point, for details and outlining
For testing I used the recently won Night Troopers unit.
Arrow point brush proved to be good for covering larger areas. I had pretty good control over the color and added and moved a better one around the figure without too much trouble. It took me a while to get used to the brush, but that's probably due to my lack of skill, not a bad brush.
I liked the round point brush even more. I worked equally well with paint (used Scale 75 colors) and washes (GW Washes). Highlighting and outlining were quite simple for me. In the beginning, it took me two or three attempts, but very quickly I was able to achieve the desired effect from the first attempt.
The gold outline by Troopers was satisfactory even with a thicker Arrow brush, although the edges needed to be repaired with white paint. I used the N00 brush to draw out the red bands and it was much easier and less repairs. Repairs are also very easy because the color control with the brushes is very good and precise.
All in all, I'm very pleased and I'm seriously fantasizing about buying all 5 brush models… or a subtle totally unintentional suggestion from family for a birthday present.
