Paint marker Army Painter Speedpaint Marker Purple Swarm (TAPSM1007P) 1 pc

Army Painter Speedpaint Marker Purple Swarm is a single-piece paint marker pre-filled with the Speedpaint 2.0 formula in a deep purple shade. It is designed for painting miniatures and models on plastic, metal and resin, offering a compact and portable alternative to brushes and pots of paint.

Advantages

The marker delivers the Speedpaint 2.0 formula for combined base, shadow and highlight effects in one coat, while the Felt-Tech tip provides controlled flow and precise application. Using a marker removes the need for a palette, water cup or additional tools, reducing setup and cleanup time and allowing painting on the go.

Suitable for

• Detailing and fast touch-ups on miniatures
• Basecoating small areas and accessories
• Painting models made of plastic, metal or resin
• Portable painting sessions and hobby travel

When it may not be suitable

The marker is intended for smaller areas and detail work; it is not designed to replace large-scale brush painting for broad surfaces or full-figure basecoats on very large models. Users wanting fine brush strokes, glazing or heavily layered blending techniques may prefer traditional brushes and separate paints.

Key specifications

• Paint system: Speedpaint 2.0 single-coat formula
• Colour tone: Purple Swarm (deep purple shade)
• Tip: Felt-Tech precision tip for controlled flow
• Compatible surfaces: Plastic, metal, resin
• Contents: 1 marker

How to use

Shake the marker well and uncap it before first use to activate the paint. Press the tip gently onto a test surface until paint flows, then apply to the model using steady, controlled strokes. Work in thin layers if needed and allow to dry between applications. Cap the marker securely after use to prevent drying out.

What to consider before purchase

• Suitable for fine detail and small-area basecoats rather than large surfaces
• Colour appearance may vary depending on model material and priming
• Store capped and upright to maintain tip condition

Usage recommendations

For best results, prime miniatures with a compatible primer, test the marker on a scrap piece first, and use light passes to build coverage. Combine with traditional paints and brushes for advanced shading and edge highlights where needed.
