AMMO Wargaming Universe Brushes

Brush Sets for Miniature Painting

Miniature and figure painting can involve several different techniques, from controlled detail work and layering to washes, drybrushing, pigments, and terrain finishing.

This AMMO collection groups brush sets around those different tasks, making it easier to identify brushes intended for figures, combat miniatures, weathering, drybrush techniques, and diorama work.

Marta Kolinsky Figure & Combat Brush Sets

Several sets in the collection are part of the AMMO Marta Kolinsky range and are organized around figure, miniature, and combat-model painting.

These sets provide multiple brush options for painters working on areas such as faces, clothing, armor, equipment, edges, accessories, and other small details. Check the individual product listing for the exact brush sizes and contents included in each set.

Shaders & Washes Brushes

The Shaders & Washes Brush Set is grouped around techniques that involve applying thinner layers of color or wash-type effects over selected parts of a miniature or model.

Brush selection can depend on the size of the surface, the amount of product being applied, and how controlled or broad the application needs to be.

Drybrush Sets

Multiple products in this collection are centered on drybrushing, including the DRY BRUSH Land Set, Miniature Premium DIO DRYBRUSH Set, and Premium Dio Drybrush Set.

Drybrushing is commonly used to emphasize raised textures and edges by working with a small amount of paint on the brush. It can be useful for terrain, stone, brick, armor, clothing folds, machinery, ground textures, and other surfaces with pronounced detail.

Pigment & Weathering Brushes

The collection also includes brush sets intended for pigment application and broader weathering work, including the Pigment Brushes Set and Extreme Weathering Diorama Brush Set.

These types of brushes can support techniques involving pigments, earth tones, dust, terrain effects, and other weathering materials. Follow the instructions for the individual weathering product being applied.

Choosing Brushes by Painting Technique

The most useful brush set depends on the painting task rather than one brush being suitable for every stage of a miniature.

• Fine detail: Look at figure- and miniature-focused brush sets for smaller painted areas.
• Washes and shaders: Select brushes intended for controlled wash and shading applications.
• Drybrushing: Use dedicated drybrush sets for raised textures and edge highlighting.
• Pigments: Pigment brush sets can be useful when applying dry or weathering materials.
• Dioramas and terrain: Consider larger or weathering-oriented sets for ground textures, scenery, structures, and environmental effects.

Brush Care & Maintenance

Cleaning brushes after use helps prevent dried paint or weathering material from building up between the bristles. Use a cleaning method appropriate for both the brush and the paint or effect product being removed.

Avoid allowing paint to dry around the ferrule area, reshape the brush carefully after cleaning, and store brushes in a way that does not bend or crush the tip.

AMMO Paints & Miniature Finishing Products

These brush sets can be used within a broader miniature and model finishing workflow. Acrylic colors, weathering products, pigments, washes, effects, and related modeling materials can be found in the AMMO by MIG Paints collection .
