Tools of the Trade: Brushes

Hello folks, I'm back with regular Warmachine posts now so its time for Tools of the Trade...

Like my last Tools of the Trade post this one will be discussing one of the important tools painters use, brushes. I'd like to believe that what kind and brand of brush a painter uses is a matter of personal preference. If you've painted minis before you'll know what I'm talking about, if your really new then you still have no idea what brush to use. Well I'll be discussing the basic brushes and where you can get them and give you my own personal preference in the end.
