The Army Painter Speedpaint Markers combine the well-known Speedpaint formula with the convenience of a paint marker. In this category at Scenery Workshop you will find Speedpaint markers designed for fast and controlled colour application on miniatures, scale models and terrain pieces.

The markers contain the same contrast-style acrylic paint found in the Speedpaint range. This allows the paint to flow into the recesses of a miniature and automatically create shading and colour variation. Thanks to the marker tip, the paint can be applied very precisely even on small details.

What are The Army Painter Speedpaint Markers?

Speedpaint Markers are paint markers filled with Speedpaint acrylic paint. They are designed to combine the shading properties of Speedpaint with the precision of a marker tip.

These markers are especially useful for:

• Small details on miniatures
• Symbols and markings
• Edges and accessories
• Small surfaces on models
• Quick painting without using a brush

Because the paint inside the marker behaves like Speedpaint, shadows naturally form in recesses while raised areas remain lighter.

Why hobbyists use Speedpaint Markers

Many miniature painters use Speedpaint Markers when they want to paint small details quickly without switching to a brush. The marker tip allows for precise control, which is especially useful on tiny parts or sharp edges.

Common uses include:

• Detail work on tabletop miniatures
• Small parts such as weapons and equipment
• Vehicle markings and insignia
• Quick colour accents on terrain and scenery

At Scenery Workshop, Speedpaint Markers are often used as a complement to traditional Speedpaint and acrylic paints.

How to use Speedpaint Markers for miniatures or scale models

Speedpaint Markers work similarly to other paint markers. Pressing the tip gently allows the paint to flow to the marker tip so it can be applied with control.

• Shake the marker well before use
• Activate the tip by pressing it lightly
• Apply the paint on a primed miniature
• Allow the paint to flow into the details

For the best results Speedpaint Markers are typically used over a light primer such as white or light grey.

What to consider when choosing Speedpaint Markers

When selecting Speedpaint Markers it helps to choose colours that match your miniature project.

• Natural tones for skin and cloth
• Darker colours for armour and weapons
• Bright colours for fantasy miniatures
• Complementary colours for different parts of a model

At Scenery Workshop you can find several Speedpaint Markers that make it easy to add colour and shading quickly to miniatures and models.
