The finest brush in the sable Wargamer range, and the one you reach for when the detail is barely there. Army Painter pitched it at painting the iris of an eye on a 28mm figure — on a layout that translates to gauge faces, marker lights, builder’s plates, and the eyes on a crew figure leaning out of a cab. A 5.0mm Rotmarder sable tip, handmade in Germany, on the 8mm triangular grip.

What is Rotmarder sable?
Rotmarder is red marten — a natural sable hair prized for holding a fine point and carrying a lot of paint. Army Painter states these brushes are handmade in Germany.
How do I make a sable brush last?
Load paint on the tip only, never up into the ferrule. Rinse in cold water immediately after use and store it tip-up with the cap on. Dried paint in the heel is what kills a sable brush.
What can I use it for on a layout?
Crew figure eyes, gauge and dial faces, marker and classification lights, builder’s plates, and the finest lettering or pinstriping.
