Not at all. The paints I used for this are all P3, but there are colors from Vallejo, Reaper and Citadel that would work just as well.
The red starts out with Sanguine base with a tiny bit of Sanguine Highlight added in. This is shaded with a wash of Gnarl's Green (mix in a little Sanguine base to the first coat, and do two). Then reclaim the surfaces with your base color, and highlight up using a mix of the base color and Frostbite.
When highlighting like this, it is important to both blend and keep your highlight areas sharp, as this color can very easily turn into something that is too pink.
