Citadel Shade: Berserker Bloodshade (18ml)
A bold blood-red wash that flows into recesses to create natural-looking depth and shadow—perfect for shading reds, enriching warm tones, and adding instant “battle-worn” definition to details.
 
What it does
Settles into crevices to draw out details and deepen shadows fast.
Dries with a smooth matt finish (great for cloth, leather, skin, and grimdark reds).
Water-based formula in a generous 18ml pot.
 
How to use
Paint your base colours and let them dry.
Apply Berserker Bloodshade so it flows into recesses.
If it pools on flat areas, wick away the excess with a clean brush.
Let it fully dry before re-layering/highlighting.
 
Best for
Shading red armour, cloth, capes, banners, and leather
Adding warmth to skin, scars, bruising, and “blood-tinted” shadows
Quick definition on textured areas (fur, straps, pouches)

ChalkyDot Tip: For rich reds without staining everything, use Berserker Bloodshade as a targeted wash (only into folds, panel lines, and recesses), then re-layer your base red on the raised areas—maximum depth, clean highlights.
