Speedpaint for 32mm squads

Fast, loud, and honest. Great for Reavers. A trap if you try it on a 75mm face.

4 / 5paint32mm

I ran a ten-model Reaver test with a speedpaint range against a contrast range. Speedpaint wins on armor plates and cloth. Contrast still wins on pale skin.

The trick is not to treat it like a wash. Put it on a pale-grey prime for cloth, a dark prime for metal, and leave it alone. Second coats go muddy.

Verdict: keep a rack of them for infantry. Don’t let them near the Queen’s face.
