color shapers of any grade (using size "2" shapers atm. but will need to get me smaller ones for finer details like faces), then a needle on a self made handle, the GW sculpting tool and some hook-like tool from a dentist is what i use up to now.

oh and i have a tool that has a conic tip...hmmm how to describe it...it is very thin on the very end and is getting broader to about 1mm over the lenght of a mm...I use this for skulls of all sizes mainly.

EDIT: I got the heresy set and tbh. I can't use any tool other than the thing that GW sells as well...I don't think they were ment to be sculpting tools for miniatures...

u got it and u said u do not use anything other than GW stuffs, so u tried heresy and u do not like them?

From the website, the pics look like they are good tools.

@heresy tools: afaik they are wax carvers - if you can put them to good use that's cool, but i have to say for me, personaly they were a waste of money...

what i also find usefull, but never gotten my hands on over here is on this page, where it says "Kemper Sculpting Tools for Miniatures" - the tools with the "ball-tip" and the hook like shaped ones:

this is not a bad selection either:

and personally I'd kill for one of these right now:

but can't get them here either...

I've been thinking about purchasing some sculpting tools from the Heresy site (and probably will) but any other professional sculting tools are more than welcome too!

The Colour Shapers, I still haven't found them so if anyone is willing to help me out here is much appreciated! (I will pay for them and shipping offcourse!)

@Skrit
Email me as I have an art shop just down the street that stocks all of the color shapers.
