The Army Painter just revealed its latest hobby innovation: the Silicone Speed Palette — a reusable, flexible take on the classic wet palette designed to make miniature painting faster and cleaner.
TL;DR
A new addition to The Army Painter’s hobby tool lineup, the Silicone Speed Palette offers a more durable, eco-friendly way to keep paints workable during long sessions.
- Made of flexible silicone for easy cleaning
- Works with standard wet palette papers
- Designed for Speedpaint and acrylic users alike
What’s New
The Silicone Speed Palette features a non-stick, flexible tray that eliminates the need for disposable plastic inserts. It’s built to pair with The Army Painter’s Hydro Sheets and Foam Pads, letting painters keep their favorite Speedpaints or acrylics ready for hours without drying out. When you’re done, you simply peel off leftover paint, rinse, and it’s ready for the next session.
Unlike traditional palettes that can stain or warp over time, this one’s made entirely of high-quality silicone, resisting damage from solvents and accidental drops. It’s also compatible with existing Army Painter wet palette accessories, meaning current users can upgrade without changing their setup.
Why It Matters for Skirmish Gamers
For anyone painting up gangs, squads, or small warbands, this tool is a serious time-saver. Wet blending and layering become smoother, and cleanup doesn’t feel like a chore. Whether you’re speedpainting a gang of outlaws for Blackwater Gulch or layering mechs for an Aeon skirmish, keeping paints fresh can make the difference between “done tonight” and “still drying next week.”
This small but smart upgrade from The Army Painter shows that even the simplest tools can evolve — and make hobby life a little easier for painters everywhere.
