Acrylic Paint Army Painter Warpaints Fanatic Legendary Red — 1 pc, liquid red

Acrylic Paint Army Painter Warpaints Fanatic Legendary Red is a single 18–25 ml (typical bottle size for this range) liquid red acrylic formulated for miniature painting, modeling and hobby projects. This water-based paint offers intense pigmentation and superior coverage in a premium resin base with stabilizers that preserve pigment dispersion even when thinned. Designed for basecoating, layering and fine detailing on plastic, metal and resin surfaces, Legendary Red belongs to the Warpaints Fanatic Flexible Colour Triad System, which provides a cohesive set of tones for consistent colour progression on miniature figures and models.

Advantages

Legendary Red delivers high opacity and uniform colour laydown thanks to a concentrated pigment load and a stabilised resin binder. The formula maintains good flow and brushability while allowing significant thinning without loss of colour performance, enabling smooth transitions and glazing. It is suitable for a wide range of hobby workflows — from quick tabletop painting to multi-stage, detail-focused techniques — and is compatible with standard hobby primers and varnishes for durable results.

Suitable for

• Basecoating tabletop miniatures and wargaming figures
• Layering and midtone work on models and busts
• Detail painting on plastic, metal and resin components
• Glazing and mixing when blending colour progressions within the triad system

Key specifications

How to use

Shake the bottle before use to ensure pigment is evenly suspended. Apply directly with a fine brush for basecoats and detailing; thin with water or a compatible acrylic thinner for glazing, layering or airbrushing while retaining pigment dispersion. Work in thin layers, allowing each layer to dry before applying the next to build opacity and smooth transitions. After painting, protect the finished miniature with an appropriate primer underneath and a matt or satin varnish on top to increase durability.

Usage recommendations

For best results, test thinning ratios on a palette or spare part: start with small amounts of thinner and increase gradually. Use the Warpaints Fanatic Flexible Colour Triad to select darker and lighter tones that match Legendary Red for natural shading and highlights. Clean brushes with water and mild soap immediately after use.
