Repentia and Blood for the Blood God Technical paint

[bkde]

Finally getting around to painting my old metal repentia.  Thinking to use some of the Blood for the Blood God technical paint on them.  Have watched loads of tutorials but am super nervous about messing them up.

 

If anyone has any links or photos of their repentia with this effect would be greatly appreciated.  A lot of the BftBG paint seems to be applied to straight edges as well (axes, swords, etc), I'm sure the splatter would look a bit different on a chain weapon.  Any photos or inspiration greatly welcomed and appreciated, thanks!

LOL watch a Tarantino movie if you want to see crazy blood splatters.   

I looked for it but I can’t find the test model I put BftBG on, I will check again in the morning. It goes on really easy but remember, less is more on your first pass. You can always add more and real blood dries flat and brownish. Also if your base is very bright consider BA red contrast paint, it goes on very bright and turns darkish on the edges. 
 

Either way I’d use a small brush that doesn’t hold much paint so you don’t overload it. Less is more!

Keep a dry (not the dry brush, but a dried bush) brush handy to clean it off if you do not like it.  Start on the casing and teeth of the eviscerator.  The teeth are probably going to flow towards the user, so the gore should flow a bit more downward... though I tended to splatter the hands and arms a bit more for affect.  It is a worthwhile effect on Repentia, though, they seem most likely to get gore-soaked :D

You best place to look for inspiration is likely going to be Khorne Berzerkers. They're the other unit that commonly has blood splattered chain weapons. 

I found this thread on Dakka that has the splatter over white armor, and he mentions his technique lower down.

This link was super helpful, thanks.  Thinking to try it on a few models instead of doing the whole unit, somehow applying it just feels...heretical.

Not Repentia, but a Chain- weapon nonetheless.

Oh Duncan, you will be missed!

I was working on my Khorne AT stuff and went with BftBK leaking from their hydraulics and eyes, I followed the contours the way blood would pool. This was fairly light, I didn’t want to overdo it. It goes on thick so I’d use a really thin cheap brush.

I have been going back and applying Blood for the Blood God to my Death Company. In my experience (and opinion), you want to go a bit “chunky” with the chainswords as they are ripping and tearing the foe as much as they are cutting. Straight edge weapons like swords are slicing so they have a relatively clean flow of blood on the blade. Chainswords should have a bit more uneven and “gunky” texture....

 

...but that’s just me.

That's a good point, a slash from a sword might be best modeled by a swipe of contrast red because BftBG is some thiiiick stuff.

Thanks for all the tips!  Of the 8 Repentia I have, 6 are finished with two more on the paint table. I've been applying it to every second model.  The BftBG actually looks pretty good.  I applied it heavier on the chain side, while applying it a bit thinner along the actual edge of the weapon (swiping the brush in the direction of the slash as described in the WH Community video above), then adding a bit of "spray" using the method in the video along the weapon.
