Deep Cut studio speed paint marker pens.

Hello and Welcome back, 

I recently picked up some Deep Cut studio Army speed paint marker pens. These brush pens are filled with Army Painter speed paints. I expect most of your reading this will be familiar with contrast paint or speed paints so I won't explain what they are or how they work. 

In my eagerness to try these pens, I dug out the only two figures primed in white from the pile of shame. 

These two metal Strontium Dogs figures by Warlord Games were the first two figures to paint. 

To use the pens, shake them and then depress the brush tip into the end of the cap to make the paint flow. In addition to this the pens come with spare brush nibs and can unscrew the pen to refill it.

I found these Markers to be easier to use than ordinary speed Painter paints. Coverage was good but the work can need touch ups. If you miss a spot it is glaringly obvious as the white shines through. 

The figures look good, however I find it pays to give the painted figures a wash to make some of the details pop. Some touch ups and a little detail work can help, such as the eyes and SD badges. 

I find these paints to be effective and as they are in pen form will be useful if you want to paint figures to a tabletop standard while away from your usual paint station. 

I can see myself using these pens more in the future and I will be trying out the pens on grey primed figures soon to see how they come out. 

Thanks for reading, take care out there.
