Citadel Synthetic Dry Brush Medium - Professional Miniature Painting Tool for Warhammer and Tabletop Highlighting

Citadel Synthetic Dry Brush Medium - Essential Highlighting Tool for Miniature Painters
The Citadel Synthetic Dry Brush Medium is a specialized painting tool designed by Games Workshop, the creators of Warhammer, to help miniature enthusiasts achieve professional-quality highlighting effects with optimal coverage and control. This precision instrument features a perfectly balanced black handle with the distinct Citadel branding and a carefully crafted head of premium synthetic bristles specifically engineered for the dry brushing technique across medium-sized surfaces and standard model areas.
Measuring approximately 7 inches in length, this medium-sized dry brush provides the perfect balance between coverage capability and precise control for highlighting work. The bristles are precisely cut to a flat, slightly splayed profile that holds the optimal amount of paint for dry brushing across moderate surface areas. The versatile brush head is sized to allow for efficient coverage on medium surfaces while maintaining the precision needed for effective highlighting techniques on standard gaming miniatures.
The defining characteristic of this brush is its exceptional synthetic bristle construction optimized for dry brushing applications. The synthetic fibers are engineered for consistent performance, superior durability, and excellent shape retention compared to natural bristles. These high-quality synthetic bristles are specifically designed for the dry brushing technique, where most of the paint is wiped off before application. The bristles maintain their precise shape and splayed profile through repeated use and cleaning, ensuring consistent performance for countless highlighting sessions. The medium size and controlled stiffness of the synthetic bristles allow them to catch on raised details across moderate surface areas while leaving recesses untouched, creating natural highlighting effects that add depth and dimension to standard miniatures and terrain pieces.
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 multiple miniatures that require comprehensive highlighting coverage.
This brush excels at creating realistic highlighting effects across medium-sized surfaces, standard model areas, and moderate terrain pieces. It's particularly effective for:

Adding metallic highlights to standard armor surfaces and weapons
Creating realistic texture effects on clothing, fabric, and organic materials
Highlighting character features and moderate-sized details efficiently
Adding weathering effects to standard vehicle models and equipment
Creating stone and wood textures on terrain pieces and scenic elements
Highlighting fur and scale details on creature miniatures
Efficient coverage for gaming miniatures and display pieces

The Citadel Synthetic Dry Brush Medium is an indispensable tool for painters working on standard miniature painting projects requiring versatile highlighting coverage. For beginners, it offers a controlled way to add dimension to models without requiring advanced blending techniques while being forgiving for learning proper dry brush control. For experienced painters, it provides the ideal balance of coverage and control needed for sophisticated highlighting effects on gaming armies and character models.
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 dry brushing techniques and their metallic paints for dramatic highlighting effects.
Maintain your brush's performance by cleaning thoroughly after each use with brush soap and reshaping the bristles while damp. The synthetic construction ensures long-lasting performance and consistent results across multiple projects. With proper care, your Citadel Synthetic Dry Brush Medium will remain a reliable companion through countless highlighting projects.
