Base: Mephiston Red is a professional acrylic paint from the Citadel Base range, which forms the basis of the Games Workshop miniature painting system. Mephiston Red is a rich, bright red paint named after the legendary Grandmaster of the Blood Angels, one of the most iconic Space Marines factions in Warhammer 40,000.
The Base range colours are specially formulated with a high pigment concentration, ensuring excellent coverage from the first coat. Mephiston Red is the ideal choice for creating a base layer of red surfaces - from Space Marines armor to Imperial Guard uniforms to Chaos Demons or Adeptus Mechanicus vehicles. Its intensity and consistency allows for quick and effective coverage of even larger areas without the need for reapplication.
This paint serves as a perfect base for other painting techniques. It can be combined with layering paints (Layer) like Evil Sunz Scarlet to highlight edges, or with darker shades to shade depressions. Mephiston Red works well with techniques such as washing (using Shade colours for automatic shading) or edge highlighting to achieve a professional look.
The pack contains 12ml of colour in a handy dropper bottle, which allows for accurate dispensing and minimises wastage. The paint is water-based, making it easy to clean brushes and dilute the paint as needed. It is recommended to shake the bottle properly before use to distribute the pigment evenly.
Mephiston Red is an essential part of any Warhammer miniature painter's palette, especially for fans of factions such as Blood Angels, Khorne Daemons or Adeptus Mechanicus where red plays a key role in the color scheme.
