The Citadel Large Dry Brush is a specialized painting tool designed by Games Workshop, the creators of Warhammer, to help miniature enthusiasts achieve professional-quality highlighting effects with minimal effort. This precision instrument features a perfectly balanced black handle with the distinct Citadel branding and a carefully crafted head of premium natural bristles specifically designed for the dry brushing technique.
Measuring approximately 7 inches in length, this large-sized dry brush strikes the perfect balance between control and coverage. The bristles are precisely cut to a flat, slightly splayed profile that holds just the right amount of paint for effective dry brushing - one of the most essential techniques in miniature painting. The brush head is sized to allow for both broad coverage on larger areas and more targeted application on medium-sized details.
The defining characteristic of this brush is its exceptional bristle quality. The natural fibers are selected for their ability to hold paint properly for the dry brushing technique, where most of the paint is wiped off before application. The bristles maintain their shape through repeated use and cleaning, ensuring consistent performance for countless painting sessions. The medium stiffness of the bristles allows them to catch on the raised details of your miniatures while leaving recesses untouched, creating a natural highlighting effect that adds depth and dimension to your models.
The ergonomic black handle features the Citadel logo and product information, making it easily identifiable in your painting toolkit. The balanced weight distribution reduces hand fatigue during extended painting sessions, allowing you to maintain precision control even when working on detailed projects for hours.
This brush excels at creating realistic weathering effects, highlighting raised edges, and adding texture to surfaces like armor, fabric, stone, and fur. It's particularly effective for:

Adding metallic highlights to armor edges
Creating realistic stone textures on terrain pieces
Highlighting fur details on beast miniatures
Weathering vehicle models with dust and grime effects
Adding depth to cloth folds and textured surfaces

The Citadel Large Dry Brush is an indispensable tool for painters of all skill levels. For beginners, it offers a forgiving way to add dimension to models without requiring advanced blending techniques. For experienced painters, it provides precision control for creating sophisticated highlighting effects that bring models to life on the tabletop.
Compatible with all acrylic model paints, this brush works exceptionally well with Citadel's comprehensive paint range, particularly when paired with their specialized Dry compounds designed specifically for this technique.
Maintain your brush's performance by cleaning thoroughly after each use with brush soap and reshaping the bristles while damp. With proper care, your Citadel Large Dry Brush will remain a reliable companion through countless painting projects, helping you transform your miniature collection from simple plastic figures to stunning works of art worthy of display.
