Replacing the old GW small drybrush

[Lostrael]

I try to replace my old GW small dry brush.

When GW changed the range of their brushes I bought some reserves, which are now depleted.

I use it for brushing gradients on details, so it has to be quite small.

The small round dry brushes from GW were perfect for this task. I have not yet found a sufficient replacement.

Does somebody now a company that produces something similar?

Do you need something to actually hold paint and paint like a traditional brush, or do you want to actually dry-brush with it?

[Lostrael]

I use it for dry brushing, so with almost no paint on the brush.

You might be best served by getting a Round 1 or 2 (probably 1) brush with synthetic sable (or a mix) bristles, and then trimming down the tip to the shape you want. I think most companies making dedicated drybrushes are using flat tips right now.

Old gw drybrushes were just size 1 rounds made with ox hair for the red/blue handled ones, or synthetic like the one you've shown. You can find similar brushes from art suppliers online or even on the high street in some places.
