what you'll need

here's my beloved Tamiya Clear Red (TCR) and my 2 stipple brushes
1 large for vehicles one small for std fig, they are basically old brushes with the bristles cut down shorter :wink:
stippling is basically "stabbing" the bristles at the area.
i quickly knocked up a chain axe to show what it looks like on a mini and the white plasticard so you can see the effect clearly :wink:

STAGE 1

first off take some TCR straight out of the pot and stipple it over the area quite thickly (the next stage will take some off)

STAGE 2

TCR has a thicker consistancy to normal paint and doe's start to congeal (like real blood) quite quickly.
once you have done stage 1 wait about 30-40 seconds for the TCR to start to get tacky then go over it agin with you stipple brush to give it some texture.
give the blood 5 mins to dry off or you'll just take most of the red off :?

STAGE 3
first up we need to mix some darker "blood" up to give it some realism (it's a bit bright at the min)
edit- i mix in a little gw Black Ink to darken it
here's sort of the ratio you'll need

You'll have to experiment untill you get this colour, you want a nice dark red gore colour.


Then it's just a case of repeating stages 1 and 2 with the darker colour
just be sure not to totally cover all the lighter red up :wink:
Here's the Dark red 1st application.


STAGE 4
Here's the end result with the dark red re-stippled for texture.

Well there you go really simple and i think VERY effective.

Now your warriors of Khorne can really show they mean business :twisted:

Enjoy!

Wow, that works REALLY well. It looks so much like real blood in that second stage, it's almost scary. And it's great that the technique is so simple; I may just be able to use it :lol: . Thanks for the quick tutorial Lonewolf.

Now to go find some of this Tamiya Clear Red....
*heads off to paint shop*

that looks too realistic... :D

Heh its funny but I copied this recipe some time ago (maybe you posted it on B&C sometime Lonewolf?)

It does look mega though I think almost TOO realistc :D

posted just about everywhere as people keep asking ;)

Thats amazing!

Why isnt this stickied?

ive seen countless blood effect threads and none come close.

cheers :D

seriously though, i wasnt going to put blood on my WEs but if i can use this technique i sure as hell will lol.
