Citadel Layer: Word Bearers Red 12ml

Word Bearers Red is a deep, dark crimson — the brooding, almost sinister red of the XVII Legion and a superb base for any rich red scheme. It's a dependable shadow tone under brighter reds and a characterful midtone in its own right, giving armour and cloth a dark, dangerous depth.

At a glance

Best for

• Word Bearers and dark red armour
• A rich shadow under brighter reds

Built under a brighter scarlet it gives reds real, layered depth — the difference between flat and genuinely menacing.

Supplied as a single 12ml pot. Pairs well with the rest of the Citadel layer range and a red shade for depth.
