As promised here is a quick demo of how I painted my Carnifex Carapaces
Step 1.
Undercoat Chaos Black. Simple.
Step 2. (this is actually step 2 and 3 but the 1st picture stuffed up so I couldn't show you)
Here I painted 2 layers of very watered down Red Gore, slowly blending each successive layer closer to the back of the Carapace.
Step 4.
Another layer of Red Gore....
Step 5.
And finally the last layer of Red Gore....
You don't need as many layers of red gore as I done and can get away with only a few however it wont look as well blended
Step 6.
Paint a layer of watered down Blood red.
Try not to cover too much of the Carapace because this colour will come out quite bright compared to the Red Gore.
Step 7.
I then continued blending with another layer of Blood red.
Step 8.
To give the Carapace a better transition between the Red Gore and Blood Red I gave it a blend with some more watered down Red Gore.
Step 9.
Finally I gave the Carapace a thick coat of Varnish.
If you don't like the Shiny look still coat it with Varnish.
After the Varnish dries give it a thick coat of a Matt Varnish.
Each Layer will dry pretty quickly especially if its a nice day or you have a heater handy. There was barely any down time between painting layers and you can easily achieve this look in just a few minutes.
