One Coat. Instant Depth.
Ghillie Dew is a rich, natural green Speedpaint from The Army Painter — a single-coat formula that lays down colour, shadow, and shading in one pass. Like all Speedpaints, it flows into recesses and pools naturally across raised surfaces, producing results that would take multiple stages with traditional paints. The result is a deep, living green with built-in tonal variation straight from the pot — no separate wash required.
How Speedpaint Works
Speedpaints are designed for the hobbyist who wants great-looking miniatures without spending hours layering and shading. Apply directly over a white or light grey primer, and the formula does the work — pigment settles into the lowest points of the model while leaving highlights on raised areas. Ghillie Dew is an earthy, organic green well suited to natural surfaces: robes, foliage-covered armour, forest creature skin, satchels, and leather straps. It rewards fast application and is equally at home on rank-and-file infantry or textured basing details.
Who It's For
New painters will find Speedpaints one of the most accessible tools in the hobby — less technique required, faster results, and a strong finish that holds up on the tabletop. Experienced painters keep them in rotation for batch painting large units quickly or handling base colours before adding freehand and edge highlights on top. Ghillie Dew works across any miniature game system — fantasy infantry, sci-fi rangers, historical skirmishers, or anything else that calls for a natural, earthy green tone.
