Babe Blonde:This is a cool light yellow. Cool in the sense that it has a slight amount of blue in it. Consistency and opacity was pretty bad on my bottle. Have to say I don’t like the name of this paint though. I think it’s unnecessarily sexist. My recommended highlight colour: Matt White. Grimoire Purple: A dark, muted, quite greyish plum purple. My recommended highlight colour: Mutant Hue. Ultramarines Blue: A medium blue with a nuance of violet. It’s similar to GW Altdorf Guard Blue, but a nuance darker. Also available as a Color Primer. My recommended highlight colour: Electric Blue. Lava Orange: A deep vibrant orange, similar to GW Troll Slayer Orange. My recommended highlight colour: Mythical Orange. 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. 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.

Centaur Skin: A light fleshy pink that works very well for highlighting Warpaints Scar Tissue. In real life, it’s more vibrant than on the paint swatch. Compared to GW Fulgrim Pink it’s warmer and more reddish, almost salmon-like. Wasteland Soil:Compared to Orc Blood, it’s a less violet and more reddish muted sanguine purple. My recommended highlight colour: Mutant Hue.

Oak Brown: A dark brown, not too vibrant, not too muted, not too reddish. It’s very close to GW Dryad Bark. My recommended highlight colour: Werewolf Fur, Leather Brown or Dirt Splatter. It really depends what you’re looking to do as a painter. If you want slap some paint in a rush to get to the tournament because you want those 10 sweet victory points for having a painted army, then yes, they will. If you’re more considered and careful with your painting and want to have a scratch at that Golden Demon, then this may not be the best choice for you – simply for the issues I’ve highlighted with correcting mistakes and blemishes. But I think novices and hardened veterans alike can have fun with these paints, just have some tissue ready. Army Painter Speedpaint Mega Set 2.0 Review – Price and Availability Warpaints’ core range offers an extensive selection of 96 acrylic paints, including a lot of interesting and unusual colours you won’t find in the Citadel or Vallejo paint range.

All in all, I consider this a successful test, and the paint job on the ONI miniature looks amazing. Almost makes all the exploding paint worth it!

It’s also available as a Color Primer. My recommended highlight colour: Pure Red. Combat Fatigues: This is a pale green with a slight nuance of olive. Quite similar to Necrotic Flesh, but less yellowish. It’s lighter than on the colour swatch. An almost exact match for GW Nurgling Green, though the coverage is a bit better.

Quality and consistency are average, but that’s not meant in a negative way at all, especially since they are one of the most affordable and widely available miniature paint ranges. However, the Mega Set 2.0 will prove valuable to those who can afford it and want to either experiment with their painting experience or just want to get some models bished, bashed and boshed. It’s a shame my rating will have to be marred by the exploding dropper bottles, but had it not been for that, these would have been very easy to recommend.

Preparation Gorgon Hide: A very light, almost white pale blue-grey. My recommended highlight colour: Matt White.

Toxic Mist: A very light, almost white turquoise. It’s much lighter than on the paint swatch in real life. Great for highlighting Royal Cloak or GW Baharroth Blue, for acchieving an intense plasma glow. My recommended highlight colour: Matt White. Mummy Robes: A very light, almost white warm grey. It’s an exact match of GW Pallid Wych Flesh. It’s as light as Warpaints Brainmatter Beige, but while Brainmatter Beige leans slightly towards the yellowish side, Mummy Robes leans slightly towards the reddish side.

5 Best Practices

The Army Painter’s Warpaints range started in 2012 with a compact set of 36 paints to complement The Army Painter’s Color Primers. Since then, the Warpaints range received several extensions and is now a fully-fledged paint range consisting of 124 paints. There are 96 regular acrylic paints, 9 effect/technical paints, 8 metallic paints, and 11 washes. Pixie Pink: A medium pink, very similar to GW Emperor’s Children. While Emperor’s Children leans slightly to the warm side, Pixie Pink leans slightly to the cool side. Elven Flesh: A light vibrant flesh tone with a nuance of orange or yellow. Similar to GW Ungor Flesh. My recommended highlight colour: Corpse Pale. Why do these exist? Who knows. But I have given them a higher purpose, as guinea pigs for these speedpaints.

Wizards Orb: A slightly mooted cool jade green. Slightly lighter than it appears on the colour swatch. It’s pretty much between GW Kabalite and Sybarite Green, so a great colour to transition between both paints. Coverage is excellent. My recommended highlight colour: Elemental Bolt.The all-in-one Speedpaint is true one-coat painting solution. Compared to its predecessor, the new Mega Set 2.0 comes with a new formula, expanded colour range that includes 45 new colours, and for the first time ever, it introduces Speedpaint Metallics! Skeleton Bone: A yellowish bone colour, a pretty exact match for GW Ushabti Bone. Decent opacity and there is also a matching Color Primer for this one. My recommended highlight colour: Drake Tooth. Wolf Grey: A medium blueish grey… or greyish blue? It’s almost an exact match for GW Russ Grey, just a nuance more blueish. Covers very well. There is also a Color Primer for this. My recommended highlight colour: Fog Grey. The differences are only nuances, however, two paints stood out. Old Gun Metal had very fine metallic pigments and a warm hue, while the new one is more of a neutral steel colour. Soft Tone Ink has become a noticeable darker brown wash. Matt White: A nice and smooth white. Opacity is similar to Ceramite White, but it doesn’t dry as chalky. I’d definately prefer this over GW White Scar.
