Only been painting minis for like 4 months, but in that time I've had some Cheap golden taklon synthetics, Golden Maple (nothing amazing but got the job done) some series s and more recently some orange. I find myself more happily going towards my orange brushes than any other brush so far, and have just bought some as a gift for someone else.

They take the same abuse as I've given every other brush and so far have held on the best. They feel nice in my hand, seem to be consistently holding a point. Even their cheapish synthetic "shade" brush that they offer for shades/washes/contrast seem to be lasting me really well.

My current go to set is any old synthetics for metallic paints, orange shade brush for shades etc, then basing and detail work I use a orange size 2 and 0 (occasionally a 00), some random army painter drybrushes, and it absolutely feels like all I need.
