The Army Painter: Wargamer Brush - Layering

The Layering Brush is the smooth‑blend, controlled‑transition specialist of the Wargamer line — the one painters reach for when they want clean layers, soft color transitions, and precise mid‑sized detail work. It’s bigger than the Detail brushes, smaller than the Regiment Brush, and sits perfectly in that “refined layering and controlled highlights” zone.

It’s the brush you grab when you want “smooth blends without losing control.”

What the Layering Brush Is Built To Do

• Lay down thin, controlled layers for smooth color transitions

• Hold enough paint for steady, consistent strokes

• Maintain a crisp point for precise placement of highlights and mid‑tones

• Work beautifully for glazing, feathering, and subtle blends

• Ideal for character models, elite units, and showcase pieces

It’s basically the “smooth‑blend engine” of the Wargamer lineup.

Why Painters Love It

• Perfect balance of size and precision — not too small, not too big

• Excellent paint flow for clean, readable layers

• Comfortable handle for long, controlled painting sessions

• Great for armor panels, cloth folds, skin tones, and organic surfaces

• Reliable point retention even after repeated blending passes

If you’ve ever said “I need a brush that makes layering look pro,” this is the one.
