Army Painter Speedpaint Marker Magic Blue

Army Painter Speedpaint Marker – Magic Blue

Magic Blue is your all-purpose rich blue for everything from cloaks and banners to arcane effects and sci-fi armor panels. This Speedpaint Marker gives you a smooth, saturated mid-blue in a single pass—ideal when you want strong color without streaks or the hassle of multiple layers. The marker format also makes it easy to stay inside small sculpted details, especially on fast-moving projects like skirmish teams or fantasy heroes.

Why Magic Blue Works So Well

• Delivers a bold, vibrant blue that stays readable at tabletop distance

• Self-leveling ink keeps surfaces smooth, even on capes and curved armor plates

• Controlled application helps avoid pooling in recesses

• Plays nicely with both lighter highlights and darker blue washes

Ideal Use Cases

• Cloaks, robes, magical garments, and arcane runes

• Power armor, sci-fi troopers, and mecha plating

• Sorcerer staffs, spell effects, and glowing magical objects

• Shields, banners, and heraldry needing a clean mid-blue

• Board game figures where quick color ID is important

Tips for Best Results

• Use a light primer for maximum saturation and clarity

• Turn the nib sideways for broad coverage on cloaks and shields

• Layer a darker blue wash in recesses for depth

• Highlight with a lighter sky blue for crisp edges

• Seal with a matte varnish once fully cured, especially for gaming pieces

FAQ

Can I blend it while wet?
Yes. The ink stays reactive for a short time, letting you feather shadows or brighten highlights.

Yes. All Army Painter Speedpaint Marker refills are compatible.
