Here's what you'll need:

Start by applying red gore to the areas you want blood spatter on.

I recommend drybrushing it on for a more realistic spatter effect that doesn't look like a 5 year old took a red crayon to it.

Ensure you paint all the teeth on chainblades, remember these things are whirling, grinding, nasty pieces of machinery that are going to get pieces of people sprayed all around in their internal workings.

Then paint the point of impact on the chain blade, this is going to be where a limb or head was hacked into. Seeing as these weapons, when used against other Astartes, are only effective when they hit a joint. As far as chain axes go this is going to mean the entire head is usually the point of impact seeing as the have a shorter surface area than a sword. common sense applies.

Next make a 2:1 mix of Red Gore to Black, depending on how light or dark you want the gore to be you can tweak this mixture as you see fit.

this is the consistency you're going for.

Apply this to central points and areas of highest concentration. This means recesses, crevices, and areas where gore is likely to pool and build up.

On the Chainblade this means at the base of the teeth along the chain and at the point of impact.

Finally drop out a little gloss varnish

Apply the gloss coat to every fleck of blood, but don't get sloppy and get it on untouched armor otherwise the effect of glistening, wet gore is not as clear.

And voila! That's it, simple and effective.

Hope this helps all of you looking to walk the Crimson Path.

 

NOTE: A word of caution, less is more in the case of gore, don't make your guys look like the just took a blood soaked shower, apply common sense to the direction and placement of the spatters, if you need to, watch a few episodes of Dexter, you'll get the idea.

Great tutorial - simple and to the point. Also, that music is heavy. Quite suitable I think. :D
