One Coat, Three Results
Beowulf Blue is a deep, rich blue that does the work of three painting steps in a single pass. Brush it over a primed model and watch it flow into recesses for natural shading, settle across flat surfaces for a vibrant mid-tone, and leave raised edges lighter for a built-in highlight effect — all before it dries. Army Painter Speedpaint 2.0 is the evolution of their original formula, refined for better consistency, stronger colour saturation, and improved reactivation behaviour so drybrushing and layering over the top behaves exactly as it should.
Fast Basecoats, Faster Games
Beowulf Blue works equally well as a straight basecoat on broad armour panels, cloth, vehicles, or any large surface that needs solid colour in a hurry. Because Speedpaint 2.0 dries to a workable surface in minutes rather than hours, you can follow up with standard acrylic highlights, edge work, or detail painting almost immediately. For hobbyists who want game-ready models without sacrificing the look of a properly shaded paint job, it is one of the most efficient tools in the workflow. The formula is water-based, thins with water, and cleans up easily from brushes.
Who Should Pick This Up
New painters will find Beowulf Blue an excellent entry point — a single pot replaces the shade-then-layer routine that can feel overwhelming when building a first batch of models. Experienced painters use Speedpaints to batch-coat squads quickly, freeing time for the detail work that actually shows on the tabletop. The colour suits any miniature that calls for armour, robes, water effects, or any cool-toned surface across any game system or manufacturer. It works over white or light grey primer for maximum vibrancy.
