Paint marker Army Painter Speedpaint 2.0 — Grim Black (black ink, 1 pc)

Army Painter Speedpaint 2.0 — Grim Black is a paint marker that delivers concentrated black ink in a convenient, portable format for miniature and hobby painting. The marker contains the Speedpaint 2.0 formula designed to provide both shadow and highlight tones in a single coat, making it suitable for lining, detailing and quick touch-ups on models and miniatures.

Advantages

The Felt-Tech tip offers precise control and a consistent ink flow, allowing accurate application without the need for a palette or water. The Speedpaint 2.0 formula combines shading and highlighting properties so one pass can add depth to surfaces. The marker format is tidy and portable, reducing mess and setup time compared with traditional brush-and-pot painting.

Suitable for

• Detailing and lining on miniatures and models
• Quick touch-ups between full paint sessions
• Hobbyists and wargamers who need a portable, no-mess solution
• Adding quick shadows and contrast on small surfaces

When it may not be suitable

This marker is intended for precise, small-area work rather than full-base coats on large surfaces. For very large models or when a uniform, thin base layer is required across broad areas, traditional brushes or airbrushing may be more efficient. The single-marker format contains a limited quantity of paint, so frequent heavy coverage will deplete it faster than bottles of paint.

Key specifications

• Color: Grim Black (black)
• Format: Paint marker with Felt-Tech tip
• Paint type: Speedpaint 2.0 formula (combined shading and highlighting)

How to use

Uncap the marker and prime the tip if necessary according to the manufacturer’s priming instructions. Apply with light, controlled strokes to the area that needs lining, shading or quick touch-up.

What to consider before purchase
