Army Painter Speedpaint 2.0 Purple Swarm 18ml (WP2031)

Purple Swarm is a vivid magenta-purple — reach for it on magenta chitin, wings and alien flesh, and for hive-fleet schemes that need punch.

Speedpaint 2.0 works in one coat over a light primer: the paint pools in the recesses for shade, holds its colour across the midtones and thins off the raised edges for a highlight. The 2.0 formula reactivates far less than the original when you paint over it, so later coats stay put.

Supplied in an 18ml dropper bottle with two stainless steel mixing balls already inside, so a few shakes brings it back to an even consistency. Thin it with Speedpaint Medium for glazes and softer contrast.
