Caput Mortuum Villainy Ink is a deep purplish-red enamel wash designed for miniature and scale model painting. Its rich, muted tone is ideal for shading, lining, and adding depth to shadows on armor, cloth, organic surfaces, and terrain. This wash flows smoothly into recesses while maintaining strong color saturation, and dries to a subtle satin finish that enhances contrast without overpowering underlying colors. Best applied over a sealed acrylic paint job for precise and controlled results.
