Blood Red from the Ionic Smart Colors range – a saturated clean red for cloaks, armour and blood. Matt 20 ml acrylic.

Blood Red is a saturated clean red with neither an orange nor a violet shift. It is the workhorse red of the range – the one you reach for when you need red and have no special requirement. The pigment is dense, so it covers better than most acrylic reds.

What it is good for on miniatures

  • Red cloaks and tunics – the main base coat for whole areas.
  • Heraldry and markings – crisp red fields on shields and banners.
  • Blood on weapons – with gloss varnish on the droplets.
  • Saturated accents – trim and details on otherwise muted figures.

What to combine it with

Build shadows with Dark Red and Wine Red, transitions and highlights with Devil Red and Light Red.

Frequently asked questions

How many coats over black primer?
Two to three thin ones. If saturation matters, base with a dark brown or Devil Red first – red over black always loses luminosity.

What do I shade red with?
Dark Red or Scab Red. Do not add black – red with black looks like dried dirt rather than shadow.

How do I thin this paint?
With water or an Ionic thinner. The formula is self-hydrating, so it stays workable on the palette far longer than ordinary acrylics – a drop is enough for brush work, and roughly 1 : 1 for airbrush.

Is the finish really matt?
Yes, it dries matt with no shiny patches. If the figure is going on the gaming table, seal it with a matt varnish at the end.

The full range is in the Ionic Smart Colors category.
