Battle of the Drybrush ! Artis Opus Series D VS The Army Painter Masterclass Drybrushes 

Just seen this but I went for AP over Artis down to a few reasons... 1. Price and availability. 2. Previous experience with Artis. They are owned and run by Element Games. I've always had good service from Element but my Series S brushes were AWFUL. Cleaned and conditioned them as instructed but they all split and lost shape. Their customer service was rubbish, asked me to send the brushes back, which I did... And never heard anything back ever again and didn't get my brushes returned. Ignored all comms too. Moved over to Broken Toad brushes and they wipe the floor with Artis.

It'll be interesting to see a comparison between these 2 companies and a set of decent make up brushes. I got a set of cheap make up brushes off ebay and they were crap, but I taxed 2 of my missus's decent make-up brushes and they're bloody amazing. The smaller of the two works amazing for washes and contrast paints 🤫

Thanks for the info - I'll be cracking on with my AO brushes as soon as possible!

Quality man 👍 Ordered my series D set but been told there are delays but they won't say how long a delay🤦🏻‍♂️ so had to order the army painter set for the mean time Thanks for making a great honest video

I never use brush like this for dry brushing but I will do it I buy the Army painter ones befor I pay so much money for the Artis Opus

Thank you so much for this!! Extremely helpful. Did you notice the army painter getting deeper into crevices due to the softer bristle? Or the softer bristles didn’t impact the final product much?

The artis opus seems better generally, but where i live, they cost literally 8 times as much as the army painter set. Maybe it depends on where you live, if they were only 3 times as expensive, i would be on board with artis opus any day!

Good honest review

I picked up a set of AP "masterclass" drybrushes - they don't retain their shape as well as my Artis Opus set, and they often shed bristles (onto/into my work). The Army Painter brushes are, in my opinion, inferior to the ELF makeup brushes I use. Overall, I'm unimpressed by any of the Army Painter brushes, at all.

Very good review! Hows the bristle quality on them? Will the Artis opus last 4x times longer than AP or is ot better to maybe get AP every time they wear out?

I've searched for the Artist Opus dry brushes and can't find them anywhere! I'm surprised that Amazon don't have them listed for sale!!!

for the money go to makeup shop and buy set of those for 10$

My army painter brushes are trashed fairly quickly. Also the quality control is kinda shit. My medium brush is almost cut completely flat and not rounded. They are ok, but I'm already looking to replace them after painting a few units.

currently I am using discount store make up brushes for dry brushing.

I use cheap make up brushes they’re just as good

Hello from Germany, I want to give my boyfriend new brushes for Christmas. Series S is already ordered, as well as a brush from Series M (Size 0). I would like to order 2 more D series brushes. Which would you recommend? Which of the D series do you use the most? What sizes are a must have. He paints terrain as well as BlackTemplar and Bonereapers. Thank you for your review. :)

What do you think these are made out of?

the AP brushes fell apart after 1 use. junk.

Got pack of Army Painter Drybrushes... it's a hot garbage: too soft, too fragile (lol), bristle is in scarce (lol 2), hard to control. Avoid this cheap trash at all cost. 2 dollar makeup brushes works better than Army Painter onces.

Um.... artis opus brushes are used an entirely different way. Not regular 'dry brushes.'
