Precision for the Foundation

The Essential Tool for Detailed Basecoating.

The Citadel Small Base Brush is a vital part of the "Base" range of tools. While its larger siblings are designed for broad strokes across tanks and large armor plates, the Small Base Brush is built for control. It features a flat profile with a rounded tip, allowing you to apply thick, opaque Base paints into tight recesses and smaller details without accidentally overlapping onto areas you’ve already finished.

Why the Small Base Brush is a Hobby Essential

  • Stiff, Durable Bristles: Base paints are thicker and more pigment-heavy than others. This brush is made with high-quality synthetic fibers that are stiff enough to move heavy paint smoothly without losing their shape.

  • Exceptional Reach: The smaller head size makes it the perfect choice for painting the "under-layers" of a model—such as the soft ribbing between armor plates, belt buckles, or the interior of cloaks.

  • Clean Boundaries: Because of the flat edge, you can use this brush to "cut in" colors along sharp lines, ensuring your basecoats stay exactly where they belong.

  • Built to Last: Synthetic bristles are incredibly resilient against the "wear and tear" of heavy basecoating, making this a long-lasting addition to your painting kit.

How to Care for Your Small Base Brush

  1. Don't Overload: Only load paint onto the tip of the brush. If paint reaches the metal ferrule, it will dry and cause the bristles to "fish-tail" or splay outwards.

  2. The "Two Thin Coats" Rule: Even with a Small Base Brush, it is better to apply two thin coats rather than one thick one. This preserves the detail of the sculpt and keeps the brush strokes invisible.

  3. Storage: Always store your brush with the bristles facing up or in a protective cap once it is dry. Never leave it sitting tip-down in a water pot, as this will permanently curl the bristles.
