The other thing about Army Painter Speedpaint is they really pull towards the recesses which is a really neat thing. It is easier to start bright and bring down with shades/glazes/stains. I end up doing a lot of bright metallics and utilize washes/speedpaints/contrast to create the darker metal I want. I really like how these stain/washes can create a really unique bronze/gold look that isn’t just painted on straight gold. My test models I used a metallic undertone. I thought it “lined” the models a lot better than some of the Contrast options and was fairly easy to control. They are more like a stain mixed with a wash. I have some models I want to show how I used them but let me go into what I liked. So having a mixer ball already inside is a blessing. A lot of the time on the GW side the paints can start to separate a bit. They are a good deal cheaper, come in easy to use bottles, and even come with their own mixer ball inside them. Overall I think Speedpaint is an excellent addition to add to your paint sets. But, there are some things I like on the GW side as well. They have some properties that I like more than the GW counterparts.

Overall I like the paints a lot and find them useful for a lot of different applications. I have used the dark red, black, brown, and flesh colors to try a few things out as I get my own personal Custodes army worked on. To get this out of the way – Army Painter sent me a few test paints and even the Mega Paint set. They also do some things that Contrast doesn’t do which is where I get excited about them! Army Painter formulated their own “version” that matches some of the properties of Contrast. These paints are equivalents to the Contrast paint range from GW. So today I want to do a little review of the newest Army Painter Speedpaints product. This is where some of the new “fast/speed” paint products comes in handy. Or you can be like myself at times where a wild whim will pull you down a rabbit hole of finding models, converting models, and finally painting models. You of course could be like a lot of players where they just paint everything and have access to. This usually means needing to quickly get your army pieces painted so you don’t lose out on your 10 points per round. A lot of players are constantly tweaking their lists down to the last few days. This is about getting your army ready for an event. Today I’m not talking about the competitive nature of the game. Goatboy here to take a close look at Army Painter Speedpaint and what they can do your army.
