How to paint blood effects in miniatures?

If you are one of those players or painters who wants the greatest realism in their miniatures, models, bases or scenery, on the Green Stuff World website we have a wide variety of special effects products that are sure to be useful to you. You can find everything from our frost effect to our effect of bile, including the effect of vomit, different types of blood and other effect paints, and so on.

Today, specifically, we are going to show you how you can use the two most popular types of blood we have (the painting blood effect true blood, and coagulated blood) to achieve the best finishes. So, you will learn how to paint blood effects for your miniatures.

If you're wondering what the difference is between the two, it's simply a question of the final finish. Real blood is more liquid and red, as it would appear in an open wound or a recent splash; while clotted blood, as its name suggests, is much darker and thicker, as is to be expected of this type of fluid when it has been in contact with the air for a long time.

Both have an extremely realistic finish that manages to imitate the effect of blood on all surfaces: metals, skin, clothing, flesh, rock, stone, floors... Just follow the instructions in this tutorial to make your miniatures look bloody in battle. Leave your enemies perplexed with a truly frightening army.

Furthermore, to apply just a little paint and create a fresh blood effect you can use our paint directly on your miniature or diorama as shown in the following video:
