The Army Painter Speedpaint: Dark Wood 18ml

The Army Painter Speedpaint: Dark Wood

Add instant, rich depth to weapon hafts, wooden terrain, leather straps, and dark organic surfaces with The Army Painter Speedpaint Dark Wood. A deep, warm brown Speedpaint that basecoats, shades, and highlights in a single coat, Dark Wood flows into recesses to create convincing grain-like shadow and depth — making wooden and leather surfaces look authentically aged and textured straight from the dropper bottle.

Darker and richer than Bony Matter, Dark Wood is the go-to Speedpaint for any model where deep, saturated brown is the dominant tone — from the hafts of axes and spears to the bark of ancient forest spirits and the worn leather of a veteran warrior's kit.

Key Features

• One-coat painting solution — basecoat, shade, and highlight deep brown simultaneously
• Deep, warm brown tone — rich and saturated for convincing wood, leather, and earth surfaces
• Ideal for weapon hafts, wooden terrain, leather armour, fur, and dark basing

Usage Tips

• Always prime with white or light grey before applying Speedpaints
• Apply in a single, smooth coat and allow to flow naturally into recesses
• Do not overwork the paint once applied — let it self-level for best results
• Seal with a matt varnish before applying additional layers or drybrushing
