The Army Painter – John Blanche Masterclass: Blood Thorn – WP4117P
Colour: Deep carmine red / magenta
Finish: Matte
Contents: 18 ml
The Army Painter John Blanche Masterclass Blood Thorn is a deep carmine red acrylic paint with a distinct magenta undertone. The colour is ideal for dramatic accents, fabrics, skin variation, demonic details and heraldry, and fits perfectly into dark grimdark and gothic colour schemes.
Deep red with a magenta character
Blood Thorn sits visually between carmine red, dark pink and magenta. This gives the colour more tension and character than a classic bright red and makes it stand out well among dark, weathered shades.
The saturated colour works particularly well as a focus colour on models consisting mainly of brown, black, metal and muted green shades.
Ideal for fabrics, heraldry and organic details
Use Blood Thorn for cloaks, robes, banners, emblems and decorative details. The colour is also highly suitable for demonic skin, monsters, fleshy surfaces and other organic elements.
When thinned, Blood Thorn can be used to give cheeks, noses, scars and other skin areas subtle red-purple colour variation.
Strong for grimdark and Blanchitsu styles
Within grimdark colour schemes, Blood Thorn forms a powerful warm accent against weathered metal, rust and earthy base colours. By locally weathering the colour with brown glazes or dark damage, it remains well integrated into a rough and battle-worn whole.
The shade also works well for ritual markings, alien vegetation and gothic scenery.
Versatile for various techniques
Blood Thorn is suitable for basecoating, layering, glazing, blending and highlighting. The strong pigmentation allows for both opaque layers and controlled, highly thinned applications.
Combine Blood Thorn with dark red or purple shades for deep shadows and with Moonpetal or lighter pink shades for striking highlights.
Usage
Shake the bottle well before use. Apply Blood Thorn in several thin layers for an even base colour. For skin and organic effects, you can thin the paint heavily and build up several transparent layers. Work towards lighter red or pink shades for extra contrast.
