I was extremely pleased with how the blood turned out on my first batch of 5 Chaos Warhounds and felt that it was worth sharing how I did it. It is super easy to do and there is very little that is needed.

First off – What supplies did I use when putting blood on a snow base?
Aside from the large lord sized square base:

• Techstar Snowflakes (for the snow base of course!)
• Tamiya Clear Red Acrylic Paint
• Water

Am I forgetting anything?

Bloody Snow Effect
This is a very easy effect to achieve. First thing you want to do is make sure the snow base is dry. Once it has completely dried all you need to do is wet the area you want the blood to go pretty good with water. Go ahead and saturate it. Next take a grungy brush and dip it straight into the Tamiya Clear Red paint and touch it to the watered down snow. The water will help the Tamiya red ink spread in a realistic manner.

The initial dab of red will be fairly pale. This is good because in the outer reaches of the blood pool it will start to fade. I added several more dabs to the central area to give the middle a deeper red. Also on rocks and other areas where the snow won’t dillute the blood I added thicker dabs of pure Tamiya clear red to give it a coagulated look. (See rock below for a good example).

That is it. This is a very easy thing to do.

Well that wraps up this painting guide. I had a lot of fun putting this together and would like to do more of these in the future. It took quite a bit of dedication to write down notes on every step but overall I think it was worth it.
