What it is good for on miniatures

  • The deepest red shadows – the bottom of folds and places light does not reach.
  • A base under bright red – it gives the final colour depth and saturation.
  • Dried blood – old stains on weapons and armour.
  • Dark leather and straps – a deep warm tone under brown glazes.

What to combine it with

Build shadows with Cardinal Purple and Scab Red, transitions and highlights with Red and Terracota.

Frequently asked questions

Why base a red with a dark red?
Because red over a light base looks flat and over black it loses luminosity. A dark red undercoat gives the final colour depth and coverage at once.

When should I use Scab Red instead?
When the shadow should be cooler and grimmer. Dark Red is warm and browner, Scab Red more violet and more sombre.

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.
