Im thinkin I want to paint some blood spatter and battle wear on some death company troops but the way I think I would go about it would make the blood look not as realistic as I want.

For blood spatter i just dip my brush in red and flick the bristles until I'm satisfied. The only problem is that it is very unpredictable so you should only do it in a controlled area (newspaper aplenty)

Doing the same thing stated above works well with a old toothbrush.

Get some Tamiya "Smoke" and "Clear Red" and apply it sparingly. It gives fantastic results for bloody gore.

I use an old baby tooth brush and run my finger along the bristles letting it spatter where needed , also you can do drips by gluing fishing wire or thread to where you want the drip to be and add a bead of glue and allow it to dry than paint it red . As for a blood mix I use watered down red gore and brown wash mixed .

As the posters on my top (hehehee...) said.
But you should also make a blood and gore effect by mixing scab red, blood red, PVA glue and sand.
It really works pretty well
