Product Information
Full details
The Army Painter Speedpaint Marker in Familiar Pink is designed for hobbyists seeking a quick and portable way to add color to miniatures and models. Its key benefit is the ability to achieve instant shadows and highlights with a single coat, eliminating the need for advanced painting techniques. However, as a single color, it requires additional markers for a full palette. This marker contains the Speedpaint 2.0 formula with an innovative Felt-Tech tip for precision and even pigment distribution, making it ideal for both large areas and fine details without brushes or palettes.

FAQs
Can I use this marker on models other than miniatures?
Yes, the Speedpaint Marker can be used on various hobby models and surfaces that have been properly primed. Its portability also makes it suitable for terrain painting or other on-the-go projects.
How long does one marker last?
The longevity depends on the size of the areas you are painting and the frequency of use. A single 6ml marker is designed for multiple applications, especially when used for details or accents.
Do I need to shake the marker before each use?
It is recommended to shake the marker gently before each use to ensure the pigments are well-mixed for optimal flow and color consistency.
What is the best way to store the marker?
Store the marker with the cap securely on, either upright with the tip facing up or horizontally. This prevents the tip from drying out.
Can I layer Speedpaint Markers over other brands of paint?
Speedpaint Markers are designed to work with the Speedpaint 2.0 system. While they might adhere to other primed surfaces, layering them over different paint types could lead to unpredictable results. It's best to test on a scrap piece first.
What does 'Familiar Pink' look like?
Familiar Pink is described as a soft, warm pink color, suitable for magical creatures, fabric details, or playful accents.
Is this marker refillable?
The Speedpaint Markers are not designed to be refillable. Once the ink is depleted, the marker should be replaced.
Troubleshooting
Marker is not flowing or is dry
Ensure the cap was securely fastened. Try gently shaking the marker. If the tip is dry, try to rehydrate it by leaving the cap on for an extended period or gently wiping the tip with a damp cloth.
Uneven paint application
Ensure the surface is properly primed. Shake the marker well before use. Apply with consistent, smooth strokes. Avoid overworking the paint once it begins to dry.
Tip is clogged
Gently wipe the tip with a slightly damp, lint-free cloth to remove any dried paint or debris. Do not use solvents.
Color not as expected
Ensure you are painting over a suitable primer color. Speedpaint colors can appear differently over black vs. white or grey primers. Test the color on a spare piece before committing to your main model.
Pros and Cons

- Highly portable and convenient for painting anywhere.
- No extensive painting skills required.
- Reduces mess and cleanup associated with traditional paints.
- Felt-Tech tip allows for both detail and broad coverage.
- Consistent and even pigment flow.
Cons
- Supplied as a single color, requiring purchase of multiple markers for a full spectrum.
- Primarily suited for Speedpaint 2.0 workflow, may not integrate seamlessly with other paint types.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: No setup is required. Simply uncap the marker and begin painting. Ensure the marker is stored with the cap on when not in use to prevent drying.
Compatibility: Speedpaint Markers are designed to work best over a primed surface. They are compatible with standard miniature primers. For optimal results, use over a light-colored primer. While the Speedpaint 2.0 formula is designed for single-coat application, it may interact with other paint types; test on a spare area if combining with non-Speedpaint products.
Care: Store the marker upright or horizontally with the cap securely fastened to prevent the tip from drying out. If the tip becomes clogged with paint or debris, gently wipe it with a damp, lint-free cloth. Avoid excessive force. Prolonged exposure to air will dry out the ink.
