The Army Painter: Acrylic - Blood Chalice

Blood Chalice is a deep, ritualistic crimson infused with dark warmth — the kind of red that feels sacred, forbidden, and steeped in ancient rites. It’s richer and more ceremonial than Dragon Red, darker and more arcane than Pure Red, and sits perfectly in that “holy relic meets blood‑bound magic” zone.

Why Painters Reach for It

• Smooth Fanatic coverage ideal for armor trim, robes, relics, runes, and ritualistic details

• Dark, ceremonial crimson tone perfect for priests, cultists, vampires, blood mages, and sacred artifacts

• Excellent shadow‑to‑mid red beneath brighter highlights like Angelic Red or Sacred Scarlet

• Matte finish that keeps the color rich, somber, and dramatically readable

Painter’s Vibe

Blood Chalice brings that “ancient rites whispered in torchlight” energy — perfect for dark clerics, vampiric nobles, ritual blades, enchanted chalices, and any miniature that thrives in deep, mystical, blood‑touched reds.
