World Eaters: Blood for the Blood God

Painting World Eaters is all about the red. It needs to be aggressive and vibrant. This guide covers the core red recipe and the best way to apply realistic gore effects.

The Butcher’s Recipe

• Red Base: Mephiston Red
• Red Wash: Carroburg Crimson
• Technical: Blood for the Blood God

The Steps

1. Basecoat: Apply Mephiston Red. It is a high-pigment red that covers perfectly over black.

2. Recess: Use Carroburg Crimson in the armor joins. It deepens the red without making it look muddy like Agrax might.

3. The Gore: Once finished, apply Blood for the Blood God technical paint. It stays glossy when dry, looking like fresh, wet blood. Use a sponge for a realistic splatter effect.
