So I’m getting ready to dive into the world of finally painting my Star Wars Legion minis. I’m planning on getting an Army Painter speedpaint 2.0 set to start. Should I also buy the wash set? I’m not sure if it would improve my results as a beginner, though I imagine I will want them if I keep up with painting. I’m intending to start by getting this Army Painter’s stuff:

Speedpaint most wanted 2.0 set

Most wanted brush set

Matte white primer

Matte varnish

    Ah, it’s a fair point, but synthetic brushes are pretty spot-on approximations of the natural hair ones in all aspects apart from longevity. Within a year or two, they’ll have slowly started to lose their point. Think like a pencil blunting - they’ll still be usable, just not quite as tightly pinched at the end.

    I only have one natural brush in my collection, a 000. All the rest are synthetic - there’s really no reason to pay premium for brushes used for heavy lifting.
