Citadel Layer: Wild Rider Red (12ml) 
A vibrant orange-red highlight Layer paint that’s perfect for pushing reds brighter—great for edge highlights, smooth layering on cloth/armour, and hot “heated” accents without jumping straight to orange.
 
What it does
Made for crisp highlights and building up smooth layers over Citadel Base paints.
Dries to a smooth matt finish for clean, readable colour transitions.
Water-based acrylic, easy to thin for controlled layering/glazing.
 
How to use
Apply over a red basecoat (or over a darker red layer).
Thin slightly and apply 2–3 thin coats on raised areas and edges for the cleanest result.
For extra punch, keep it tight to the brightest zones (upper folds, armour edges, corners).
 
Best for
Highlighting reds on capes, banners, cloth folds, armour panels
Hot accents on weapons, lenses, flames, and “heated” details
Speedy red gradients (dark red → mid red → Wild Rider Red edge pop)
 
Key details

ChalkyDot Tip: For a clean “red armour” look, do your red normally, then use Wild Rider Red only on the sharpest edges and corners—small highlights read brighter than big ones, and your red stays rich instead of turning orange.
