Blood Thorn - John Blanche Masterclass Warpaints is a matte acrylic paint by The Army Painter, developed for deep crimson-red tones, dramatic contrast and atmospheric details on fantasy and grimdark miniatures.
Why choose this acrylic paint?
Blood Thorn belongs to the John Blanche Masterclass, a paint range co-created with artist John Blanche for expressive, gritty and gothic miniatures. Its deep red colour has a distinctive purple-magenta character, providing an atmospheric alternative to conventional bright reds. Use Blood Thorn for robes, cloaks, banners, heraldry, leather, creature skin and other details that need a dramatic focal colour. The Warpaints Fanatic formula combines intense pigmentation with a premium resin base and proprietary stabilisers, allowing substantial thinning while maintaining pigment dispersion. This makes the paint suitable for controlled layering, glazing, blending and tonal transitions.
