Citadel: Contrast Flesh Tearers Red (18Ml)

That thin Contrast formula really lets the layers underneath show through while building up a beautiful, deep red tone. It takes a couple of coats for full opacity on the paler base, but the smooth, even finish it gives my power armour panels makes it totally worth the extra step.

It’s a decent red, but the coverage is a bit inconsistent on flat surfaces. I had to do two coats to get a solid color, which defeats the purpose of a contrast paint for me.

The red goes on thin enough to shade recesses nicely, and the 18ml pot lasts a good while. It took two coats to get a solid finish on shoulder pads, though, which felt a bit heavy for a Contrast paint.
