About this deal

All Speedpaints come with two steel Mixing Balls already loaded in the bottle, making it easier for you to get the perfect consistency. Then paint and wash your metals, then varnish the whole model. Once dry, you can then start applying the Speedpaint. The result will be a bit darker as you can see in the finished marine above. Color Differences Our revolutionary new Speedpaints Metallics are the easiest way to get metallic effects on your miniatures in one simple application. Speedpaint Metallics are the hobby’s first-ever metallic one-coat painting solution, and this paint set is the fastest way to get your hands on all ten! With colours ranging from rich Talos Bronze, to shimmering Broadsword Silver, and glimmering Hoplite Gold – you have the perfect metallic selection for your hordes of plate mail, carapace, and armour. In the Army Painter Speedpaint 2.0 Mega Paint Set review video, Rob breaks down everything you need to know about the paints!

However, the Mega Set 2.0 will prove valuable to those who can afford it and want to either experiment with their painting experience or just want to get some models bished, bashed and boshed. It’s a shame my rating will have to be marred by the exploding dropper bottles, but had it not been for that, these would have been very easy to recommend. You get a good range of colors in this set, and with the three metallics, you’ll probably be able to paint up most armies! Now, these little experiments are all well and good, but what does that mean for practical use? I have to say that unless you paint over with a very light colour, you will hardly notice any reactivation with Speedpaint 2.0. Even then, unlike the old Speedpaints, there is no varnishing needed. One or two additional layers of paint will pretty much remove the bleeding completely. On the Stormcast’s robes I layered and highlighted over Speedpaint that cured for about 20 minutes. As the highlight colours are quite similar, bleeding is not an issue at all. Layering and highlighting over the robes of a Stormcast Eternal painted with Beowolf BlueAll of their products are always affordable and high-quality, and we expect this set is no different. This is a preview, but it looks like it will be coming out before too long. The paints basically take what contrast paints do and take it to 11, and knowing Army Painter, all while keeping the price affordable. And yet, the community has divided into those who welcomed reactivation as yet another tool in their painting arsenal and those who prefer their one coat paints to be stable and not reactivating. Let me know in the comments which camp you are. The Army Painter now had the difficult task of responding to the criticism and reconciling both camps. Speedpaint 2.0 review – the new formula

With these, it only took about an hour and a half for two big minis, and the results are pretty amazing! Overall, Rob thinks Speedpaint is some of the best paints to hit the market in a really, really long time. Army Painter Speedpaint is better than Games Workshop Contrast because they do what they say on the tin, cover in one coat, and look great! Where To Get Army Painter Speedpaint & Pricing:

This is how the metallics look just over a white zenithal undercoat (the right two are flesh colors). So, reasonably vibrant but not quite the same three-dimensional depth as the color Speedpaints. The “speed” part seems to be the ease at which they apply over miniatures, while still having some depth to them. How to Paint With Speed Paint 2.0 If you just want everything in one buy, this is the way to go! You get an insane number of paints for a really great price. There are a ton of amazing shades but these five might just be Rob’s favorites. There is a brown that’s perfect for popping things like leather. The blue from before obviously. The camo green has so many uses it’s just insane. His new favorite out of all of them is the red, it just pops like wow. Other Applications Before we properly begin, we’d like to thank The Army Painter for sending us this set for review. Army Painter Speedpaint Mega Set 2.0 Review – Contents With the resin more stable now, I’m happy to say that the bleed through effect is all but gone. On the lower half of the bases, I painted over with light grey acrylic paint, again after 30 minutes, 2 and 24 hours. Around the 30 minute mark, some of the new Speedpaints still bleed through light layers of paint. For example Dragon Carmaine, Maize Yellow and Forest Spite. It’s much more faint than with the original formula, but it is still present. At least on some of the more vibrant colours such as the red, yellow, purple, and green. However, after a longer curing time of about 2 hours, the bleeding stopped. Speedpaint 2.0 in practical use
