The Army Painter Speedpaint: Hardened Leather 18ml

The Army Painter Speedpaint: Hardened Leather

Paint belts, pouches, scabbards, and armour straps to a battle-worn finish in a single coat with The Army Painter Speedpaint Hardened Leather. A warm, mid-tan brown Speedpaint that basecoats, shades, and highlights simultaneously, Hardened Leather flows into recesses to create instant depth and shadow — delivering a convincingly worn, tough leather finish that looks like it has seen a hundred campaigns, straight from the dropper bottle.

Sitting between the pale warmth of Bony Matter and the deep richness of Dark Wood, Hardened Leather is the essential mid-tone brown for any model where leather is a key detail — from the straps of a Space Marine's bolter to the worn saddlebags of a Chaos Warrior.

Key Features

• One-coat painting solution — basecoat, shade, and highlight mid-tan leather tones simultaneously
• Warm mid-tan brown — the ideal tone for worn leather, pouches, straps, and scabbards
• Sits naturally between pale bone and deep dark brown in a layered colour progression
• Consistent flow and self-levelling formula across all Speedpaint colours
• 18ml spill-free dropper bottle with mixing ball pre-loaded for easy use

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

Perfect For

Leather armour, belts, pouches, scabbards, holsters, weapon straps, and any model where worn, natural leather is a key detail. Ideal for Chaos Warriors, Astra Militarum, Kharadron Overlords, Bretonnian Knights, and any Warhammer 40K or Age of Sigmar painter who wants realistic leather details finished fast across an entire army.
