The Bloodreaver Flesh paint is a great paint to use when painting figures in the Warhammer 40K universe that are supposed to have a sense of gore and violence. Here are three armies that would particularly benefit from using this paint:
What armies to paint with Bloodreaver Flesh
- Khorne Bloodbound: Khorne Bloodbound are a faction of Chaos Space Marines dedicated to the Chaos God Khorne. Bloodreaver Flesh paint is perfect for painting their flesh, giving them a sense of violence and gore, as well as for painting their weapons and armor, making them look like they have been bathed in blood.
- Death Guard: Death Guard are a faction of Chaos Space Marines dedicated to the Chaos God Nurgle. Bloodreaver Flesh paint can be used to paint the rotting flesh of the Death Guard, making them look truly disgusting and diseased. It can also be used to paint their weapons and armor to make it look like it is covered in rust and other signs of decay.

I made this decision based on the knowledge that these armies are supposed to have a sense of violence and gore, which can be highlighted by using Bloodreaver Flesh paint. It’s a great paint that can be used to create a sense of violence and gore on the figures which are perfect for the Khorne Bloodbound, Death Guard and Daemons of Khorne.
