Speedpaint Test Bulk Painting

Here’s an overview of miniature I batch painted in an evening or two thanks to speedpaints. I had just received my speedpaint pack and wanted to try out all the colors to see what they looked like, which ones I liked, and which ones I didn’t. Similar to my creature batch, I gathered a bunch of miniature from various sources to test them out.

This mix includes miniature from Dungeons & Lasers’ Civilian set, Heroclix figures, HeroQuest miniature, old metal miniature I recovered from long ago, Zombicide figures, official Dungeons & Dragons miniature, World of Warcraft figures, Reaper miniature, and more. I threw everything together and painted a bit of everything.

These were from a Halfling Kickstarter I backed. They’re dead Halflings. These are the tokens I always use to indicate when there’s a corpse on the battlefield. I should really buy some that represent human corpses because right now I only have Halfling corpses. I’d had these for a long time and was always too lazy to paint them. This was the perfect opportunity.

Nearly finished, before varnishing. This really let me try out lots of different speedpaints. My process was to pick a color, like red, look at all my miniature and decide who needed a bit of red, and apply it. Then I’d take another color, like dark black, and do the same. This approach gave a really nice uniformity to the whole batch.

A closer look at the finished results. I was really pleasantly surprised by the speedpaints. They allowed me to get decent tabletop-ready miniature with minimal effort, and the variety of sources and styles actually works together cohesively.
