Well, after doing some serious thinking I hate... In fact loathe the "Red Paint Job" vehicle upgrade for Orks. If anything because my Orks aren't going to be red... However... I recently read that Orks don't necessarily paint their vehicles w/ paint, but rather w/ their enemies leftover blood.

So, does anyone have some nice pics of some gore and how they painted it?

Thanks.

Drybrush/stipple Red Gore, with a bit of Blood Red over the top to show new stuff. Varnish, and voila!

Not yet but dried blood is reddish brown. Also, I'm gonna go with a red stripe instead of the whole paint job. You could also paint the rims red or something like that. As far as I know, there just has to be red on it. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

i read somewhere where a dedicated person on this forum actually mixed his blood to get a better effect..

Bio Hazard waste. Sick.

A good mix would be 50/50 Tamiya smoke and Tamiya clear red. You get a transparent dark brownish red. Perfect in my opinion.

Agree. And the finish is glossy.

this is a cool way of doing it that i use for my orky vehicles, its by GW and it comes out great, ruins the brush though so definitely use an old brush

try... if you ever have an accident wile cutting extra just off one of your models, drip as much blood as you can into something small or skip the for-play and put right on your model where you want the blood to be

Ive met a guy who did indeed paint blood with real blood, mixed with a bit of paint and ink- I think he even as a tutorial as to how to get the mix done on cmon. He varnishes over it when he is done to reduce the biohazard. I dont know why he does it, simmilar effects are possible with mixes of paint and ink only. When I get to a point where I can look it up in my notebook, ill post how I do blood and a pic if I can find one.
