The Complete Brush Kit

In the Box:

• Kolinsky Sable Brush Set of 5 (Sizes 2, 1, 0, 3/0, 5/0) with carry case

Whether you’re cracking open your first box of miniatures or levelling up from a basic starter set, the Third Space Premium Starter Brush Set gives you the tools to paint with confidence from day one.

We’ve hand-picked the four products in this bundle to cover every stage of the miniature painting process — from bold base coats and satisfying drybrushed texture, right through to the finest eye-wateringly tiny detail work. And because we’re Third Space, every single item punches well above its price point.

What’s in the Box

Third Space Kolinsky Sable Brush Set (x5) The gold standard of miniature painting brushes, and the centrepiece of this bundle. Genuine Kolinsky Sable — sourced from Siberian weasel tail hair — gives you a razor-sharp tip that holds its point stroke after stroke, superior paint capacity, and that satisfying spring-back that synthetic brushes simply can’t match. Comparable sets from the big brands will set you back £80–£120+. You won’t be paying that here.

Included sizes:

• Size 2 – Your go-to all-rounder
• Size 1 – Larger details, trim work and edge highlights
• Size 0 – Faces, gems and mid-level detail
• Size 3/0 – Eyes and intricate work
• Size 5/0 – For the truly dedicated (you know who you are)

Comes with a carry case to keep them safe on and off the hobby table. Distinctive purple handles mean you’ll never mistake them for anything else.

Third Space Drybrush – Small & Medium (x2) Dry-brushing is one of the most satisfying and effective techniques in the miniature painter’s toolkit, and having the right brush for the job makes all the difference. The Small drybrush is perfect for picking out raised detail on infantry, armour plating and small vehicles, while the Medium gives you broader strokes across larger surfaces, scenery, and bases. Both feature goat-hair bristles built to take the rigours of the technique without shedding or losing their shape.

Purge the Unclean Brush Soap (30ml) Great brushes are an investment — so look after them. Purge the Unclean is our own-developed brush soap, made from natural vegetable oils with a high glycerine content to moisturise and condition bristles after every session. It’s tough on dried paint but gentle enough to use on your finest Kolinsky Sable without any worry. One pot will last you a long, long time.

How to use: wet the bristles, swirl into the soap to build a lather, rinse thoroughly with clean water, then blot and reshape the tip with a paper towel. Job done.

Why This Bundle?

Most starter brush kits give you quantity over quality — a handful of brushes that fray after a few sessions and nothing to look after them with. This set does the opposite. The Kolinsky Sable brushes will outlast any synthetic alternative if you care for them properly (that’s what the soap is for), and the dry-brushing duo ensures you’ve got the right tool for texture work without having to sacrifice a good detail brush to the cause.

Perfect for: Warhammer 40,000, Age of Sigmar, Star Wars Legion, Shatterpoint, Horus Heresy, or any miniature system where you want your models to actually look painted rather than just coloured in.
