Acrylic Paint Army Painter WP2012P Red 18 ml bottle

Army Painter Acrylic Paint WP2012P Red in an 18 ml bottle is a water-based acrylic pigment formulated for miniature painting, model making and hobby crafts. Marketed under the Speedpaint range as "Slaughter Red," this paint is designed to provide strong coverage, built-in shading and highlight effects in a single application when used over a primed surface. Supplied in a compact 18 ml liquid bottle, it is intended for detailed work such as layering, washes and small-area colour application. Not suitable for children under 36 months.

Advantages

The Speedpaint formulation offers high pigmentation and a flowing consistency that spreads evenly across primed miniatures. A single coat delivers both vibrant colour and integrated shading/highlight results, reducing the number of painting stages required. The water-based acrylic composition allows easy thinning, cleanup with water and compatibility with common miniature priming systems. The small 18 ml bottle provides controlled dispensing for precision work.

Suitable for

• Painting primed miniature figures and tabletop models
• Applying quick base coats with built-in shading and highlights
• Detail work on models, dioramas and hobby craft projects
• Layering and wash techniques on small surfaces

Key specifications

• Type: Water-based acrylic paint
• Finish: Opaque with built-in shading and highlight effect
• Volume: 18 ml per bottle
• Colour: Red (Speedpaint: Slaughter Red)
• Application: Single-coat coverage over primed surfaces; suitable for layering and washes

How to use

Apply Speedpaint Slaughter Red over a fully primed miniature at room temperature. Shake the bottle to mix pigment and additives before use. Use a fine brush to apply a single, even coat; the paint is formulated to flow and settle to produce shading and highlights. For larger or uneven surfaces, apply multiple thin coats rather than a single heavy coat to avoid pooling. Clean brushes with water immediately after use.

Usage recommendations

For best results, prime miniatures with a compatible acrylic primer and ensure the primer is fully dry before applying the Speedpaint. Thin the paint slightly with water if necessary for smoother flow on fine details, and allow adequate drying time between additional coats or varnishing. Keep out of reach of young children and store the bottle tightly closed in a cool, dry place.
