The Army Painter: Acrylic - Dragon Red

Dragon Red is a fierce, commanding crimson built to feel mythic, fiery, and absolutely dominant on the tabletop. It’s richer and hotter than Resplendent Red, deeper and more monstrous than Wyvern Fury, and sits perfectly in that “ancient scale‑armor and molten breath” zone — the classic fantasy red that roars before the miniature even hits the board.

Why Painters Reach for It

• Smooth Fanatic coverage ideal for scales, armor plates, wings, claws, banners, and high‑impact details

• Bold, fiery crimson tone perfect for dragons, demons, elite troops, arcane constructs, and heroic champions

• Excellent mid‑tone between darker reds like Basilisk Red and brighter highlights like Angelic Red or Raging Rouge

• Matte finish that keeps monstrous textures sharp, readable, and powerfully vibrant

Painter’s Vibe

Dragon Red brings that “ancient power awakens and the battlefield trembles” energy — perfect for dragons, fiery warriors, legendary heroes, and any miniature that thrives in bold, iconic, fantasy‑forged red tones.
