Citadel Technical Blood for The Blood God Paint Pot | Games Workshop

Overview

Technical Blood for The Blood God is a vivid red glaze from Games Workshop's Citadel range, designed to add depth and drama to miniature surfaces. This paint pot invites you to experiment with staining, shading, and color layering that can help your models tell a more dynamic story on the tabletop.

On the palette, you may notice a glossy, pigment rich consistency that lends itself to controlled application. When brushed over metal, leather, cloth, or skin tones, this shade can behave like a glaze to intensify creases, recesses, and fine details without overwhelming the underlying base color.

Color characteristics and use cases

The Technical Blood for The Blood God shade is a bold crimson designed to resemble fresh blood or darkened gore in miniature work. It can be used to highlight edge details, tint recesses, or create dramatic blood effects on weapons, armor, and ornamentation. The shade pairs well with washes and other red tones to build multi layer depth.

• Pigment-rich glaze that can flow into crevices for subtle shading
• Versatile for both gore style effects and weathered red tones
• Suitable for layering over a base red or metallics to add drama
• Compact pot that stores easily in your painting station

Real world use scenarios

Imagine a squad of space marines or fantasy knights, with crimson accents that catch the light during tabletop battles. For infantry, you might use the shade to emphasize stressed seams, drapery folds, or weapon systems. For display pieces, it can deliver rich color depth that reads well from across the room.

• Edge highlights along blade edges or armor trim
• Shaded creases in cloaks or tunics for visual depth
• Blood effect accents on battle damage or weapon tips
• Layering with a lighter red to create a crescendo of color

How to use effectively

Begin with a clean pot and a fine brush. Apply a thin coat and let it settle into crevices. Build intensity gradually with measured layers, allowing each pass to dry before continuing. Clean your brush promptly to preserve bristles and color integrity.
