Citadel Contrast: Sigvald Burgundy (18ml) – 2022
A luxurious burgundy / wine-red Contrast that gives you basecoat + shading + highlights in one pass—perfect for rich cloth, leather, capes, banners, and elegant “noble” reds with instant depth.
 
What it does
One-coat effect: settles darker in recesses and lighter on raised areas for fast definition.
Water-based formula for easy control and cleanup.
Great for creating deep red shadows without jumping straight to black/brown (keeps reds looking “expensive,” not muddy).
 
How to use
Prime with a light undercoat (Contrast-style priming) for best vibrancy.
Apply a generous, even coat and pull excess away from flat areas before it dries.
Let dry fully, then add a small edge highlight (pinkish flesh tone or pale red) if you want a sharper finish.
 
Best for
Burgundy cloth: robes, capes, tabards, banners
Leather (rich, dark red leather looks great with this)
Daemonic / Slaanesh details when you want “royal red” instead of bright scarlet
 
Key details

ChalkyDot Tip: For super-smooth burgundy on big cloth areas, do one normal coat, let it dry, then do a second very thin coat only in the deepest folds—you get richer shadows without staining the highlights.
