Old Citadel Red Ink Substitute...

The blood of your enemies?

 

As far as I know, the old paints were made by coat d'arms, who still make equivalents - their red ink may be worth a try:

Recreating with GW paints  will be tricky as the ink had a certain sticky, glossy quality. 

 

My closest guess would be carroburg crimson + ardcoat. 

 

Personally I'd try to move away from OOP paints 

 

EDIT:

 

If you look at their entire range, you can see most of their paints actually still have the old GW names, like Warlock purple, etc. Might have to get a few of these myself!

Charlo: Your best bet is probabaly P3 red ink.

 

The P3 paints were designed by Mike McVey that painted for GW back in the 80-90's using GW paints, he was probably involved in the paint design for GW back then. So since he designed the P3 line (launched in 2006) I suspect that the P3 red ink is similar to citadel old red ink.
