I’ve got a lovely bunch of Ross heads, here they are standing on their own… I did not receive the box itself, so we’ll have to use a bit of the theatre of the mind here to imagine a box, like so.


Army Painter Speedpaint Mega Set 2.0 Review – Contentsįor regular readers, you may feel like we’ve skipped something – and that something would be the unboxing section.

Also, 3 of those paints are metallics too, and a resin-based medium is included.īefore we properly begin, we’d like to thank The Army Painter for sending us this set for review. Just recently, they have released their second wave of Speedpaints – a 2.0, if you will – introducing 45 new colours into their range, with 5 re-formulated paints returning. A very bold assertion, especially in a market where Games Workshop say something similar with their Contrast Paint range. They’re well established, but they’ve recently made some waves with their Speedpaint range – the idea being that they are the ‘true one-coat solution’. We at Fauxhammer have reviewed some of their products before, like their Warpaint set a couple years back. This isn’t The Army Painter’s first rodeo – they’ve been around the block for a while. Army Painter Speedpaint Mega Set 2.0 Review – Introduction Hopefully, the latter point was a fluke and not reflective of the product in its entirety – because otherwise, this would be a great box set for beginners and veterans alike looking to get an army on the table as quick as possible. The dropper bottles were also a mixed bag – in that, some of them in our copy were unstable and erupted, whilst the rest were an absolute joy to work with. However, there is still room for improvement on the formula – we found that covering up mistakes and doing touch ups were difficult, as previous layers refused to be recovered. The paints provide consistent coverage, an all-in-one shade and basecoat and are very pleasing to the eye, allowing you to churn out some battle ready miniatures in an afternoon without much fuss. The Army Painter Speedpaint Mega Set 2.0 provide many great paints and some promising results – and in our experience, these paints did not reactivate, contrary to all the controversy online.
