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
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
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
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
Enjoy!
