The Army Painter: Wargamer Brush - Small Drybrush

The Small Drybrush is the precision‑texture, crisp‑highlight specialist of the Wargamer line — the brush painters reach for when they want tight, controlled drybrushing on smaller surfaces. It’s the perfect middle ground between the big terrain drybrushes and the tiny detail brushes, built for “clean texture without over‑dusting.”

It’s the brush you grab when you want “sharp drybrush highlights on small areas with total control.”

What the Small Drybrush Is Built To Do

• Create bright, readable highlights on small raised surfaces

• Bring out texture on armor plates, cloth folds, hair, fur, weapons, and bases

• Deliver controlled, soft drybrush passes without chalky streaks

• Hold the right amount of paint for precision drybrushing

• Work perfectly for character models, elite units, and detailed bases

It’s basically the “precision drybrush engine” of the Wargamer lineup.

Why Painters Love It

• Dense, rounded bristles give smooth, consistent drybrush strokes

• Small footprint prevents over‑brushing or hitting unwanted areas

• Comfortable handle for long detail‑highlight sessions

• Perfect for minis with lots of texture — cloaks, fur, stone, bone, leather

• Ideal for both beginners learning drybrush control and veterans refining it

If you’ve ever said “I need a drybrush that won’t blast half the model,” this is the one.

Painter’s Vibe

The Small Drybrush brings that “controlled texture, crisp highlights, clean definition” energy — perfect for painters who want their minis to pop without losing precision.
