The everyday detail brush of the sable Wargamer range — a step up in body from the Insane Detail, which makes it the one most painters actually use most. Army Painter describes it as a superb sable brush for very precise details, from weapon cartridges to fine highlights on a face. On a layout that is grab irons, handrails, cab fittings, brake wheels and the faces of figures.

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.
How is this different from the Insane Detail?
Insane Detail (BR7004P) is a 5.0 mm tip for the very smallest spots. This is 6.0 mm — still fine, but with more body, so it holds paint longer and is the better everyday detail brush.
