Citadel X-Small Artificer Layer Brush

If you're serious about layering, the XS Artificer Layer is about as good as a brush gets. Made from the highest-quality sable, it holds a razor-sharp point that lets you place fine highlights and crisp edge work exactly where you want them — and keeps that point far longer than a cheaper brush. Look after it and it'll repay you with control most painters only dream of.
