Acrylic paint Army Painter Warpaints Fanatic Effects True Blood — red liquid, 1 pc is a water-based acrylic effect paint formulated to reproduce the appearance of fresh, glossy red blood on tabletop miniatures and models. Supplied as a single 1-piece pack, the True Blood effect paint delivers an ultra-glossy, bright red finish suitable for adding wounds, gore, wet blood, or liquid detailing to figures, bases and dioramas. Designed for use with fine brushes and layering techniques, this liquid red formula is compatible with typical miniature painting workflows and can be combined with other paints in the Warpaints range for integrated results.
Advantages
The True Blood Fanatic Effects paint provides a high-gloss, vivid red finish that mimics fresh blood and holds surface detail. Its water-based acrylic formulation allows controlled application with fine brushes, enabling thin veins, drips and pooled effects without heavy texture. The product dries clear-gloss where applied thinly and retains bright reflectivity for a realistic wet look. Because it is part of the Warpaints Fanatic Effects line, the paint is designed to integrate with common basecoats, washes and varnishes used in miniature painting.
Suitable for
- Adding wounds, blood splatter and gore effects on tabletop miniatures
- Creating wet or glossy liquid details on figures, weapons and bases
- Enhancing horror, fantasy and sci‑fi models with realistic red staining
- Layering over basecoats to simulate fresh blood or recent damage

How to use
Shake the bottle gently before use to ensure an even consistency. Apply with a fine brush to areas where you want blood drips, splashes or pools. Use thin layers for subtle wet effects or build up slightly for thicker droplets and pooling; allow each thin layer to dry before adding more to control flow and avoid unwanted runs. The paint can be applied directly over cured acrylic basecoats; if working over glossy or varnished surfaces, test adherence in an inconspicuous spot. Clean brushes and tools with water immediately after use.
Usage recommendations
For realistic results, apply Fanatic Effects True Blood after completing base colours and shading. Use it sparingly in focal areas such as wounds, weapon edges and base details. To simulate older, darker blood, tint with matte brown or black washes once the glossy layer has dried. Store upright in a cool, dry place and keep the cap closed to prevent drying.
