Paint – Army Painter Speedpaint 2.0 Beowulf Blue (model 2016337)

Army Painter Speedpaint 2.0 Beowulf Blue is a ready-to-use acrylic paint specifically formulated for miniature and model painting. Designed to provide fast basecoating with integrated shading effects, this paint delivers even coverage and a mid-tone blue colour suitable for a wide range of tabletop figures, wargaming armies and small-scale models. The dropper-style bottle and controlled nozzle make application precise and minimise waste, while the improved Speedpaint 2.0 formula balances pigment density and flow for consistent results.

Advantages

This Speedpaint offers quick coverage and built-in wash properties that reduce the need for multiple layers or separate washes. The paint is water-based and suitable for standard miniature materials such as plastic, resin and metal, allowing hobbyists to achieve an efficient workflow. The dropper bottle provides controlled dispensing for spot application or larger area coverage, and the formula is compatible with common hobby techniques including drybrushing and edge highlighting when thinned or layered.

Suitable for

• Basecoating infantry, monsters and vehicles on tabletop miniatures
• Speed-painting large units or armies for wargaming
• Adding mid-tone blue shading and tonal variation to models
• Hobby modelling projects using plastic, resin or metal components

How to use

Shake the bottle well before use to ensure pigments are evenly distributed. Apply directly from the dropper nozzle to primed miniatures for rapid basecoating, using a brush to spread and control coverage. For smoother transitions or thinner layers, dilute the paint slightly with water or a dedicated acrylic medium and apply multiple thin coats. Allow each coat to dry before applying subsequent layers or highlights. For edge highlights or drybrush effects, use a smaller quantity of paint on the brush and remove excess before application.

Usage recommendations

Store the paint in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Cap the bottle tightly after use to prevent drying. Test compatibility on a small area when using with specialty primers or varnishes, and clean brushes with water immediately after use. For best results on large batches, work in consistent lighting and consider using a wet palette if thinning for extended sessions.
