help with blood

[razhburz]

G'day mates

Do you have any good tips for painting blood on axes? I am currently workin on a beastman, and I thought it would be cool with some blood on his axe.

IF you have any tips please tell me


Thanks,

Razh

Red ink is the way I do mine, I simply apply it in streaks and let it dry and keep repeating this until it darkens, you do have to let each coat dry thoroughly, once I have a deep enough red on the area I am doing I then add a little black paint into the ink mix and pint this further in this if done right makes it look more clotted in places, I have heard that Tamiya clear red is good for blood too although I have some of this I have never actually tried it.

thanks Tim

I got to buy some red ink on monday.

[razhburz]

oh yes, there was one thing more I was going to ask.

how do you paint the rock on you bases Tim. like the ones on your Ilyad Orc?


Thanks,

Can't help you with the blood--never done it myself, and Tim's blood is excellent, so I don't think you could go wrong with that. As far a rocks go, I found a good tutorial here at www.necrotales.com/necroTutorials/tut_base_rock01.php.

I do mine quite simply, the Ilyad Orc's base was done with a simple technique, basecoat Codex Grey, shade wash with Codex Grey with Chaos Black mixed into darken it. Then I just dry brush Codex Grey, Fortress Grey and finally Skull White.

Thanks jabber and Tim

I will try both methods.

Cheers,

I use oil paint for blood effects with a lot of turps, it dries real slow and i can work it around to exactly where i want it, i use cadmium red and a little black to darken it.

[razhburz]

thanks menace

Where can you buy those oil paints? hobby stores?

I have bought some red ink now and ready to start on my bloody job
Just a question firsr, though. Tim do you thin down your ink when you are painting blood?


Thanks,

Razh

[Tim C]

Rahz, I don't thin it down, I use it straight out of the pot.

[razhburz]

thanks Tim


Raccy what did you edit in my post? had I written something stupid once again?

[racssirt]

Not much mate, I just made the wink an actual smiley! Because it was right next to some text like this;) it didn't work so I thought I'd make it neat and put a space between it! ;D

[razhburz]

ah ok I see. Thanks mate

[scarifice]
