How to Paint Blades of Khorne (Complete Guide) As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. This helps support the blog at no extra cost to you. I have loved playing Chaos forces ever since I first entered the hobby over 35 years ago. When it comes to painting Chaos armies, I always return to the classic colour schemes, the ones covered in the original Realms of Chaos Books from the late 1980s and early 1990s. For Khorne, that means deep red armour, dark brass metals, bone, and fire. In this guide, I’ve brought together all of my Blades of Khorne painting methods in one place. Whether you are painting armies of daemons, mortals, or warbands for Warhammer Underworlds or Warcry, this hub links out to the individual techniques I use to keep a Khorne force cohesive and unmistakably brutal.

  How to Paint Flaming Swords on Miniatures Simple Heat Effect with Glazing As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. This helps support the blog at no extra cost to you. Flaming or superheated weapons are a great way to add visual interest to a miniature. In this guide, I’ll be using a Bloodletter of Khorne as an example, but this method works equally well on any miniature with a blade or weapon. This approach creates a glowing, heat-based effect, building a transition from darker reds at the base of the blade through to bright yellows at the tip, simulating the heat of a weapon fresh from the forge or infused with daemonic energy. This technique relies on applying multiple thin layers (glazes) . Take your time and allow each layer to fully dry before applying the next, this is what creates the smooth transitions.

How to Paint Khorne Warriors on Miniatures – Claws of Karanak Warband Guide As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. This helps support the blog at no extra cost to you. In recent weeks I’ve been thinking about playing Age of Sigmar: Spearhead, and I wanted to finish painting the Fangs of the Blood God. Back in 2020 I painted up the Flesh Hounds of Khorne, so this project focused on completing the Claws of Karanak warband. The aim was to tie these models into my existing Khorne force, combining the tones from the Flesh Hounds with the richer reds of my Blood Warriors.
