Deep Madness by Diemension Games with Amy Painter Speedpaints 

Here are the miniatures I painted from the game Deep Madness by Diemension Games. It was a game offered on Kickstarter and is a fun Co-op survival horror game based in large part on the Cthulu mythos. What makes these miniatures different from all of the other miniatures I painted is that these were made using army painters Speed Paints. At the time I had the SpeedPaint Megaset 1.0. This contained all 24 paints offered with the Speed paint 1.0 formulation.

I use these paints yeah and a variety of combinations to cover these miniatures after priming the miniatures with Vallejo white primer. For the most part that was all I did to these miniatures except for spray priming them with Army Painter Matt spray cans. The only exceptions to this are when I used metallic Vallejo paints to do the metallics and when I used the games workshop jewel technical paints to do the view screens on the objective markers. Everything else was nothing but speed paint sometimes blended with speed paint medium.

It's a bit hard to tell because I'm not a great photographer and maybe the light isn't that great but this project convinced me to switch entirely over to using speed paints from now on. The hype was right on the money. All I had to do was put down one coat of paint and move on to the next section. Highlights were created, shadows were created, and everything looked better than what I could do with standard acrylics.

If you're a great painter and you have a lot of technique under your belt you could probably do better than these speed paints. If, however, you are like me and are merely an average painter I can recommend these speed paints for helping you to get your miniatures on the table pretty fast. There were about 150 miniatures in this set and start to finish I painted them in about six weeks. I'm very happy with the results and very happy with the pains.

The only caveat I had is that when I sprayed them down with the army painter Matt spray can it did dissolve some of the paint. This is possibly because I did this when it was too hot and or humid outside. The next time I use speed paints I'm going to use the 2.0 formulation as well as the 1.0 formulation and I'm going to wait until it is cool and dry outside before I spray them down for their varnish coat.
