Games Workshop Citadel Pot de Peinture - Technical Blood for The Blood God, 9918995600506

One of my favorite paints of all time. This one dries glossy to an almost wet appearance. Love finishing off my minis with this after applying the DullCoate.

Amazing quality, can be built up and looks just like like blood. Definitely recommend!

As a novice painter, I ordered this paint from the reviews of others to do a blood spatter effect on a custom Funko Pop! I had no idea what I was doing, or how it would turn out. I only had other peoples word, and a few techniques I had read about on how to do such a thing. The result was far better than I could have hoped. The Pop! in question was supposed to have a factory blood spatter paint job, but it looked something more like he had the measles. Once I got done painting it myself, it really received the blood spatter treatment it deserved. The paint dries with a natural wet look to it, almost as if this is exactly the type of thing it was made for. I have no other figure painting background, and I have no other plans to do so in the foreseeable future, but I can tell you that for the job i needed this for, it was perfect, and Im sure an avid practitioner of the craft would be able to paint remarkable things with this paint. Truly a great product.

I bought this paint because I was unsatisfied with the color (both hue and transparency) of a different brand of blood paint I have. In a YouTube review of all brands of blood paints, this one was chosen as the winner. After trying it out personally, I have to say that this Citadel Blood for the Blood God is also my favorite! When you open the paint, it really looks like blood - both the color AND the thickness. Some other brands of blood paints are too thin and look like cheap fake movie blood, but not this one. You can still thin it a bit as with normal acrylic paints, but be careful not to do it too much. When it dries, it still looks like fresh blood and does not take on a purple or brownish color like some other blood paints do. Also, note that this pot is the smaller of the 2 common Citadel paint pots - so maybe get more than 1 if you use a lot of blood paint? 2 quick tips for painting blood: 1- Use a small piece of a fine sponge to apply the paint to certain areas for more realism. 2- If you want to paint blood splatter, take an old (retired) toothbrush and cut away 2/3 or so of the bristles (to save paint), leaving only the bristles at the tip. Then apply some of this paint mixed with a little (not too much) water to the toothbrush. Using your finger, pull the bristles back and flick the brush at the area of your figure that you want blood splatter. Repeat until satisfied. Note that this can be a bit messy so prep the area with newspapers or whatever and be careful.

I use a LOT of this! Gives a very glossy wet look with the perfect shade of red for blood, gemstone, and effects. Its thick enough and that makes it easier to work with for tiny detail work. (A single paint-brush hair with a single dot makes a perfect red eye pupil for a 20mm miniature). Its not as easy to just wipe off if you make a mistake, but with a little practice, this stuff is absolutely amazing!!!

Im fairly new to painting so I dont have much to compare it to, but I havent seen another paint that looks more convincing as blood on a model than when I use this.

It truly looks like blood.

Its the perfect product for your bloody action figures!

Really adds to level of Blood detail.

This paint looks convincingly like somewhat glossy fresh blood. Great color and excellent coverage.
