Citadel Layer - Word Bearers Red - 12ml

Citadel Layer - Word Bearers Red

Deep crimson for armour, robes, and dark accents

Word Bearers Red is a Citadel Layer paint with a deep, dark red hue. This color is ideal for building up rich red layers on armour panels, cloaks, banners, helmets, shields, and symbolic details with a dark, ceremonial appearance.

Designed for layers and accents

Citadel Layer paints are designed to be painted over basecoats. Word Bearers Red works particularly well over dark red and brown base colors, such as Khorne Red, Gal Vorbak Red, or Rhinox Hide. With multiple thin layers, you can build up color intensity in a controlled manner without losing the details of your miniature.

Excellent for Chaos, Space Marines, and fantasy warbands

This color is perfectly suited for Word Bearers, Chaos Space Marines, cultists, dark fantasy warriors, vampiric armies, and sinister command models. Word Bearers Red is also a very useful shade for leather details, reddish-brown fabrics, book covers, purity seals, banners, and ornaments.

Easy to combine with Shades and highlights

Use Word Bearers Red after a dark wash to relight red surfaces, or as an intermediate layer towards brighter red tones like Wazdakka Red. The matte acrylic formula is easy to control with a brush and is suitable for layering, edge highlights, glazing, and small freehand details.
