Speed Paints 2.0 a Review Part II

The Daily DM • June 13, 2023

Dear Readers, I’ve pretty much finished the mini I was working on (I didn’t do any basing yet),and the results are… mixed.

Here’s the mini:

The Good

-The paints go on smooth and dry fairly quickly, enabling multiple coats to go on easily.

-The paints show up well and do what they are supposed to do without reactivation of the paints between coats.

-The color range that Army Painter has in this line is rather…extensive, all things considered.

-Large areas can be painted quickly with great results

The Challenges

-Detail work is outside of the scope of this pain line, still requiring standard acrylics to do the smaller detailed parts (we’re talking pouches, belts, ropes, potions, etc…)

Overall

Overall, I give the new Speed Paints 2.0 an A-. Speed Paints aren’t meant to, I believe, do detail work, but it does a great job for everything else. If you are just needing tabletop quality (most of what I do) for painting, this is your line of paints!

Until next time, Dear Readers…
