The Army Painter Speedpaint 2.0 18ml Singles: Speedpaint Medium

Make Speedpaint Work the Way You Want It To

Speedpaint Medium is the mixing companion designed specifically for The Army Painter's Speedpaint 2.0 formula. Adding medium to your Speedpaint pots gives you direct control over how the paint behaves — thinning the consistency for smoother application, slowing the flow-out so you can work more deliberately over large surfaces, and reducing the intensity of the colour shift for a subtler, more blended result. It is not a generic acrylic medium; it is formulated to stay compatible with the unique reactivation properties of Speedpaint 2.0, so your paint continues to behave as intended rather than breaking down or pooling unpredictably.

In practice, this means you can extend your Speedpaints for smoother coverage on larger flat areas, push them toward a more traditional wash behaviour for deeper shading without the full colour saturation, or simply keep a pot workable for longer during a painting session. A few drops on the palette alongside your Speedpaint goes a long way — this is a utility product that rewards experimentation once you know your workflow.

Who Should Pick This Up

Speedpaint Medium is a natural addition for anyone already painting with the Speedpaint 2.0 range who wants more flexibility and control. New hobbyists who have found their first Speedpaints either too fast-drying or too intense for certain models will benefit immediately. Experienced painters who use Speedpaints for speed-painting whole armies but want to fine-tune results on centrepiece models will also find it useful. It pairs well with any miniature painting project regardless of game system — Speedpaints are not locked to any single game, and neither is this medium.
