The Army Painter - Warpaint Fanatic: Dragon Red

Keppet's View

A good red needs to work hard on the tabletop. Dragon Red is a vivid, slightly purplish red that works well for armour panels, cloth, banners and the scales of fantasy creatures. It’s also a useful mid-tone for building a red colour scheme, rather than relying on a single flat coat.

Part of The Army Painter’s Cool Reds colour triad, Dragon Red gives you a handy starting point for creating consistent red schemes across an entire army.
