Citadel Colour Mephiston Red (12ml) – Base Acrylic Paint

Citadel Colour Mephiston Red is the definitive red paint for miniature hobbyists worldwide. Formulated as part of the premium Base range, this acrylic paint features an exceptionally high pigment density that delivers solid, rich coverage with a single coat, effortlessly overcoming the translucent nature common to traditional red pigments—even over dark undercoats.

The shade is a deep, vibrant, and classic red. It is the iconic, must-have foundation for painting the power armor of the Blood Angels Space Marines, the robes of the Adeptus Mechanicus, or any fiery heraldry, cloth, and banners across fantasy and sci-fi universes.

The non-toxic, water-based formula flows smoothly from the brush, settling evenly without clogging or obscuring the intricate details of your models. It dries to a clean matte finish that creates the perfect canvas for subsequent shading and edge highlighting. Packaged in the standard 12ml Citadel pot.
