Paintbrushes!

I think this is the right place for it. These are high end brushes, and compared to Games Workshop brushes are better and with postage, cheaper. Maybe only for the high end painter, but then you need something good to start with. Anyway, have a look at the Kickstarter here:

After years of using shoddy brushes I'm quite keen to get a hold of some of these... They'll work out cheaper than the GW ones I normally use anyhow

I only paint with Winsor&Newton Series 7 Size 1. There is not that much of information at the Kickstarter Site, why are these brushes better than others?

Therein lies the risk, doesn't it? With any Kickstarter, you're buying into an unknown, and for something as personal as a mini-painting brush, it's a total gamble.

They're less expensive than Series 7s, through the KS at least. If they're close to comparable in quality, they'll be a good deal. Even if they compare to the higher-tier Reaper brushes I often use, I'd be happy. As another example, I backed both the Games and Gears Brush Kickstarters. The first ones were sort of so-so, the second ones I like a lot better. But they didn't represent a huge investment to try out.

My guess is "I only paint with Winsor&Newton Series 7 Size 1" is a pretty good indication that you know what you want and appreciate the quality that the best brush on the market affords you. These brushes are very unlikely to be better than a W&N S7, so somebody painting exclusively with W&Ns is unlikely to be happy with them. I may give the Wamps a go, though.
