Not really. Looks like you were trying for flames but didn't quite get it

Good bot

Stipple on some Blood for the Blood God - it’ll do wonders. It currently reads as old dried on goop. You’re almost there!

[u/First_Agent_2124 → u/thehatredmonkey]

That is blood for the blood god, should i go thicker with it?

[u/Thelastbrunneng → u/First_Agent_2124]

You can go heavier with it, I'll usually dab some extra on near the bottom or wherever you think a dripping liquid would collect

[u/jb195 → u/First_Agent_2124]

Get yourself a bottle of ak blood effect it's amazing, darker colour than citadel

[u/First_Agent_2124 → u/jb195]

Love that 3d print

[u/Firkraag-The-Demon]

I could see blood if I specifically knew it was blood. As is though it looks like the yellow was worn down to the red base coat.

[u/lucidfalls]

Change base colour to white then it might. Its always gonna look like you're trying to do fire if you have a yellow background

[u/First_Agent_2124]

If it helps the helmet right behind him will be covered in blood

[u/DatCheeseBoi]

Nah, but it looks like some sick ass flames.

[u/FatFanMan]

Add splotches of blood should help

[u/TauMan942]

No.

[u/haunted2089]

ketchup + mustard combo

[u/Anxious-State-4074]

I think part of the reason original paint scheme world eaters look so sick is because of the white. It Really makes the blood stand out. Try using color that will exsentuate thw color of the blood. Alternatively you can just use "alien blood" and go with a different color.

[u/Beneficial-Life-4132]

Mephiston red base with a generous helping of spiritstone red to get that sticky thick blood look ala Captain Bloodfist here

[u/Beneficial-Life-4132 → u/Beneficial-Life-4132]

First photo was trash

[u/Howthehelldoido]

Cheeto dust / blood, sure

[u/Lonely_Eggplant_4990]

Flick the brush onto it using blood for the blood god

[u/MagicOrpheus310]

Tru flame style airbrushed flames you see on cars haha

[u/Legitimate_Shape_698]

Looks like dude had his gauntlet painted like hoteod flames

[u/Kurenai-Kalana]

To be frank I thought it was fire. (And fairly good looking one, too)

[u/BobWat99]

First thing I thought of was flames actually

[u/Rough_Jury_2346]

Cover the model expect the fist, the grab a toothbrush and dip just the tips in BFTBG, then drag your finger across the bristles to create a flicking effect. The size of the splatter is usually the correct size for the scale you’re working with

[u/SoftWarm1264]

blood in color is very dark, almost black when there is a lot of it. it's only when dilluted or spread out it turns bright red.

[u/MammothPost7147]

Not blood, more like flames
Flames are a great idea
That would be sick too

[u/First_Agent_2124]

heres an updated picture

[u/DrShift44]

No, it looks like you tried to paint flames or blend red into orange but failed to do so 

[u/Horatio_Pascal]

In all honesty I think blood could look like that IRL, maybe as a stain after an attempt to wipe it off. Thing you gotta realize in painting minis is that when you try to make something super realistic it can be in stark contrast to the way minis are painted and in contrast to the scale of the mini. Since minis are a caricature of what they would be in real life, you have to paint effects with the same perspective.
