EC I thought I'd paint them up in there purple heresy colours and then use fluorescent pigments to look like splatters. So I was wondering what do you guys think this would look like?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/544914/5925674.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/544914/5925674.page GMT Emperors children idea. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/544914/5925806.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/544914/5925806.page GMT Emperors children idea.
If you are planning on a Halo-like bright alien blood splatter, that might look interesting if you combine it with alien bodies crushed on some bases and being hacked apart on the odd model.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/544914/5925954.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/544914/5925954.page GMT Emperors children idea.

In the book there's descriptions about the EC and how instead of painting their armour they splattered it with fluorescent pigments. I was asking because I was just wondering if it would translate well onto a model if it would just look cluttered and messy? ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/544914/5926161.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/544914/5926161.page GMT Emperors children idea.
Perhaps test it on a model? Any model in armour would work I imagine; for a base idea. But in terms of telling you how'd it look without actually doing it, well that'd be rather hard I say just give it a go! If you havent got the exact colours you can simply use another colour range as a tester, say reds, or blues or yellows or any colours you have

Question is: How would you achieve your splatter? You could use a brush and flick lightly, alternating colours frequently to get a good mix in the layers. You could use an airbrush on a very low PSI to lightly dust the models, alternating colours once again. Err not sure how else you could splatter it. You could sponge it on too, to get a very rough effect, or stipple it with a brush to get a similar look.

I think it'd just look like a Pollock painting xD But yano, it might have a cool overall effect. Wouldn't really fit in with the tanks though, because those are painted by the Adeptus Mechanicus and I can't imagine them sitting there flicking pigments at tanks x)]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/544914/5927067.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/544914/5927067.page GMT
