This one is hard to match, with nothing in another brand landing close in the same finish, the nearest being Red Tone from The Army Painter at 68 percent in a different finish class. Flesh Tearers Red is a dark vivid red with a warm undertone. Highlight it toward Gore-Grunta Fur, the nearest lighter paint in the Citadel lane. For a true match, stick with the original; cross-brand substitutes will read as a different color.
