Warhammer Colour Layer: Word Bearers Red 12ml

Word Bearers Red is a deep, dark crimson with real richness to it — the sort of red that looks sinister rather than cheerful. It's a superb shadow red for layering, and a natural choice for darker armour schemes, robes and anything that should feel a little bit unholy.
