Paint - Army Painter Speedpaint 2.0 Shamrock Green, model 2016329

Army Painter Speedpaint 2.0 Shamrock Green is a ready-to-use acrylic miniature paint in a single vivid green shade designed for fast, efficient painting of wargaming and tabletop miniatures. Part of the Speedpaint 2.0 range, this formula combines base coverage and shading properties in one application, allowing hobbyists to achieve opaque color and subtle shadowing without multiple separate layers. The paint is water-based, suitable for use on plastics, metals, and resin miniatures, and it is formulated for brush application straight from the bottle.

Advantages

Speedpaint 2.0 Shamrock Green offers a balanced consistency that provides both coverage and wash-like flow, reducing the time required to paint small models. The color is highly pigmented for dependable opacity while still allowing controlled recess shading where the paint thins naturally. As a water-based acrylic, it cleans up with water and is compatible with standard hobby varnishes and sealers once fully dry.

Suitable for

• Basecoating infantry, monsters, and vehicles in tabletop wargames
• Speed-painting large batches of miniatures for armies and skirmish games
• Adding colour to terrain pieces, scenic bases, and hobby conversions
• Layering and blending with other acrylic miniature paints

How to use

Shake the bottle well before use to ensure pigments are evenly distributed. Apply directly from the bottle with a clean brush, using a moderate brush size for larger surfaces and a finer brush for details. For best results, thin lightly with water or a dedicated acrylic medium if a more translucent wash effect is desired. Allow the paint to dry fully between coats; drying time depends on ambient temperature and layer thickness. After drying, protect the finished miniature with an appropriate varnish.

Usage recommendations

Test the color on a spare piece or an unseen area before applying to a finished model. Use separate brushes for basecoats and washes to maintain consistent finish quality. Store upright in a cool, dry place and avoid freezing temperatures to preserve the paint's performance.
