One Coat. Rich Colour. Table-Ready Red.
Speedpaint 2.0 is The Army Painter's answer to fast, stunning results on the tabletop. The Dusk Red set centres on deep, warm red tones that flow into recesses, self-shade, and dry to a rich, saturated finish — all in a single coat over a white or light grey primer. No layering required to get a result you'll be proud to field. Whether you're powering through a backlog of infantry or getting a new army game-ready for the weekend, Speedpaint 2.0 does the heavy lifting.
The 2.0 formula is a significant improvement over the original Speedpaint range — it reactivates less when overcoated, meaning you can highlight and drybrush on top without dragging the underlayer. That makes these paints genuinely useful at every stage of the hobby, not just for speed-painting beginners. Dusk Red tones work beautifully on armour panels, robes, cloth, and organic surfaces alike, making this set versatile across a wide range of miniatures and game systems.
Who This Set Is For
New painters will find Speedpaint 2.0 one of the most accessible entry points into the hobby — apply over primer, let it dry, and the model already reads as finished. Experienced hobbyists who paint in volume will appreciate how quickly the set moves a squad from bare plastic to tabletop standard. The Dusk Red palette is a natural fit for armies built around red livery: Khorne-aligned forces in Warhammer, red-armoured Space Marine chapters, warmachine factions in crimson and maroon — but the set is game-agnostic and works on any miniature that benefits from warm, dark red tones.
