Scab Red from the Ionic Smart Colors range – a very dark maroon for shading and dried blood. Matt 20 ml acrylic.

Scab Red is a very dark maroon with a violet core – exactly the colour of dried blood and old wounds. As a shade it is grimmer and cooler than Dark Red, so it belongs wherever red should read sombre rather than warm.

What it is good for on miniatures

  • Dried blood – old stains on weapons, armour and bases.
  • The deepest red shadows – where the shadow should feel grim.
  • Wounds and scars – the dark core under brighter fresh blood.
  • Dark cloth – maroon robes of cultists and necromancers.

What to combine it with

Build shadows with Black Brown and Dark Violet, transitions and highlights with Grape Red and Terracota.

Frequently asked questions

How do I paint old blood on a blade?
Irregular patches of Scab Red, a few droplets of a brighter red on top, and gloss varnish only on the fresh spots. Old blood is matt, fresh blood is glossy – the difference between them carries the effect.

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

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.
