Acrylic Paint Army Painter Speedpaint Hive Dweller Purple 3 g

Army Painter Speedpaint Hive Dweller Purple is a liquid acrylic paint supplied in a 3 g bottle, formulated for fast, single-coat coverage on primed miniatures and models. Designed for hobbyists and tabletop gamers, this Speedpaint provides intense shading, vibrant colour and integrated highlight effects in one application. The fluid consistency ensures smooth flow over plastic, resin and metal surfaces, making it suitable for base coats, contrast layers and quick touch-ups.

Advantages

This Speedpaint offers a genuine one-coat painting solution that reduces painting time while delivering consistent flow and reliable adhesion on primed surfaces. It produces built-in contrast with both shading and highlight effects, allowing detail to remain visible without multiple layers. The compact 3 g bottle is convenient for hobbyists and travel, and the formula is formulated to work well on common miniature materials such as plastic, resin and metal.

Suitable for

• Painting tabletop gaming miniatures and figurines
• Quick base coats and contrast layers on models
• Touch-ups and small-area recolouring on plastic, resin and metal miniatures
• Speed painting batches of figures for gaming or displays

How to use

Shake the bottle to mix pigment and medium thoroughly before use. Apply Speedpaint directly onto a properly primed miniature using a fine brush, working thin layers if needed to control flow. For best results, place a small amount on the palette and load the brush lightly: one careful coat over the primed surface typically provides the intended shading and highlight effects. Allow to dry fully before handling or applying varnish.

Usage recommendations

Use on well-primed surfaces and avoid applying over wet layers; thin with a small amount of water only if necessary to adjust flow. Test on a spare part to familiarise yourself with the paint's contrast behaviour. Finish with a matte or satin varnish to protect the painted surface and unify the finish.
