You mean like how the dired blood is properly sealed by varnish?



Okay, my final judgement on the topic: Intentionally injuring yourself for any reason is a bit off, but so is being a little b*tch about other peoples blood. Sometimes I think people have nothing better to worry about than microbes. OBSESSIVE COMPULSIVE GERMAPHOBES. If you really want a knot in your panties, I suggest resarching the swine-flu crossover. You won't be worrying about dried blood on a mini when physical contact or close proximity to people could (potentially) kill you.

The topic was what we thought of using blood to paint models. I stated my reasons. I think it's unhygienic. That doesn't make me an OCD germaphobe. And the possibility of an epidemic doesn't mean I shouldn't be concerned about other health problems.

People keep bringing up the fact that varnish would seal it in: I know a lot of people that don't use varnish. So, if one of them paints with their blood, then it's exposed.

Also, if you need to paint with blood to get a more realistic dried blood effect, then learn to paint better.

One of the respondents had, in passing, mentioned that one of the fellows at their FLGS painted their Khorne army in his own blood. Many of the repsondents continued to remark on how disgusting such an act would be. That is until I mentioned that I myself have done it as had quite a few of the B&C fellows who follow Khorne. At which point they gave further voice to their disgust and "WHY?" we would choose to do this. I have personally painted models with my own blood. My berserkers, of which I have few left, are painted with my blood mixed with red Gore and given a liberal wash of Badab black. I would post a picture but I cannot at this time locate my camera. So when I am aware of its whereabouts I will post a pic of it. In the meantime feel free to discuss this most delightful topic!

PS: Blood for the Blood God and all that!

Cheerio

You do realize thats not sane right?

Note to self, be sure to play with back against wall from now on...

I thought that was if you played at NAMBLA

Amen.

Why? Doesn't NAMBLA stand for the Northern American Marlon Brando Lookalikes Association????

I didn't want to go there when I read it in the other thread, but this is what I would do in that situation (or any situation like it.)

If you were attempting to play me at an actual store or even if you just brought them into the store (By store I mean the local hobby shop.):

1.) I would call the local police department, have them come out to the store, inform them of the situation, and file a full police report. I would then inform them that I am going to go to the local hospital to get full medical STD tests done and anything else that is required or suggested by them.

2.) In the days following the hospital visit and incident report filed w/ the local police department I would hire a lawyer to start a small claims report w/ the local court house regarding the issue mentioned in the police report and w/ the hospital - while claiming mental anguish (the fear of STDS, other biological contaminents, and etc.) and the knowingly endangerment of others.

3.) We'd most likely settle outside of court to the matter when you are issued your subpoena and either way - in court or otherwise - I would ask that the items in questions, your figures, be destroyed due to their biological contents. (An item that I am sure would happen regardless of my request.) In this way I would only assume that all of your painted figures would be confiscated and individually tested for the presence of blood.

4.) After seeing the case closed, collecting my dues, seeing your items destroyed, and paying my dues I would use the rest to buy my new army if not two.

Yes... I am a dick. It's people like you that piss me off by doing stupid things - as painting their models w/ their own blood. You deserve what you get my friend.

Alazahr you're my hero. That was awesome

I don't think I'd ever do it personally (maybe for a blood stain on a hero model, or something).

Just like when I did it.

People like you, sir, are what's fething wrong with the world. I feel sorry for people who are forced to interact with you on a daily basis. :\

I'd rather be around a person like myself all day then a group of people that believe it is completely fine to paint a toy miniature in their own blood rather then painting it. I'd hope it would be safe to assume that while my screws are loose that the original posters' (and anyone w/ the same mindset for that matter) screws were left out during assembly by mistake.

This conversation reminds me alot of the Remembrancer in Fulgrim that started using her own excrement, male ejacualte, and eventually blood (or to be more accurate, an entirely decomposed human body) as paint. Good stuff.

Remind me never to come within 50 yards of your figs..

I don't think it's fine to paint a miniature in blood, I do think it's acceptable to add a drop or two to an entire pottle of red gore when painting an army/warband then varnish it, and I do think it's acceptable to put a small drop onto an axe head that you then glaze with ink and varnish it. If someone literally painted their army blood red with a human blood wash for shading, I'd be concerned too. Or if they did ANY blood-work without letting it sit for a suitable time then varnishing. It's really not a big deal if you're safe with it. And as I said, I've been checked for pretty much every STD and blood-borne disease under the sun recently. I messed with some nasty girls it's true but I'm clean of disease and can prove it.

Your opponent however does not. If you simply stated after the fact, "It's cool... I don't have STDs, I've gotten tested." that I am supposed to simply go, "Oh? Well, cool." and carry on you're sadly mistake my friend.

-J.

Considering that I don't even play people with my chaos WFB army it's somewhat moot. It's just a display army. 5 knights, 5 horsemen, 10 hounds and a hero on daemonic steed. When they're all finished they'll be locked in the cabinet with other display pieces. I would thusly warn anyone who wanted to take them out for a look that it's real blood on the axe, so it's their call.

You're a moron if you ask me.

I don't know whats more sad; the fact that you actually think the cops would take your side, or the fact that you took the time to think all those mentioned steps through. As disturbed as I think people are for puting blood in their models, wanting to cause them problems and/or harm is a huge overeaction to the situation. Its probably safe to say though that the posters before have already figured out what you really are.
