Vallejo Game Color: Evil Red (72.112 / 72112) – 18ml
A deep, sinister dark warm red that’s perfect for rich shadows on red armour and cloth, dark leather tints, and “evil” fantasy accents—smooth, matte, and made specifically for tabletop miniatures.
 
What it does
Water-based acrylic for fantasy & wargaming miniatures, designed primarily for brush painting.
Dries matte and self-levels to help reduce visible brush marks.
New Game Color formulation is commonly described as more fluid, more opaque, with high pigment saturation and better blending.
Dropper format helps with clean dosing and less paint waste.
 
How to use
Shake well (reds benefit from a thorough mix).
Apply 2 thin coats for the smoothest finish (especially on flat panels).
Use it as a shadow red: paint it into recesses and undercuts, then bring your brighter reds back on the raised areas.
 
Best for
Shading and deepening reds (capes, banners, armour panels)
Dark leather, straps, demon skin undertones, gore-adjacent accents
Mixing: add a little Evil Red into other reds to darken without turning brown/black
 
ChalkyDot Tip: For “rich red depth” fast: base your red → paint Evil Red only into recesses → re-layer the original red on raised areas → add tiny highlights. You’ll get deep shadows without dulling the whole surface.
