Citadel brushes are shit bro.

Get this for your first starter set. Best bang for the buck I’ve found.


And get this brush cleaner from the same company. It makes the Masters soap most people use look like trash. This is way better, not even close.

This is good for a big supply of cheap dry brushes.

KOLIGHT Set of 20pcs Cosmetic Makeup Brushes Set Powder Foundation Eyeliner Eyeshadow Lip Brush for Beautiful Female (Gold+Coffee)
This is the best “cheap brush” set I’ve used. Good for when your kid wants to paint,. The flat brushes from it are actually, I use them for finer dry brushing.

And get yourself a magnifying light if you don’t already have one.

I’d recommend plain old Krazy glue for miniatures, in the small bottles instead of that adhesive you have there. Minis are very small and the krazy glue applicator is very fine Instead of that giant tube.


Also, a heating pad for your sore back bending over a table all day.

Oh look up “nail polish rack” on Amazon too. There’s a couple style of clear acrylic models that are perfect for holding your paint bottles and very cheap compared to the hobby specific ones you can buy.
