Asked a few Qs about how to get splatter effects, but didn't get any responses that felt super concrete.
Tonight, for no reason in particular, I got to thinking about splatter effects again - I'd had a little success sponging, but nothing that felt, y'know, right.

As if possessed by the long-dead spirit of a much better painter than I, I suddenly grabbed my trusty modeling syringe and dipped just the barest, tiniest weensiest tip of the needle into BFTBG, then pointed it at some terrain and hammered the plunger in as sharply as I could.

Spoiler:
In hindsight, friends, practice this with paper to get your hand in first. Do as I say, not as I do... some cleanup to be had on one crate, and also a hand and hopefully none of my bathroom


Got some pretty decent splatters, if I do say so myself! Hope this might be of use to someone, it's dead easy, and I bet you could do it on a mini for a really convincing mid-battle berserker, too!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/796789/11075044.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/796789/11075044.page GMT Blood For the Blood God - Blood Splatters! http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/796789/11075054.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/796789/11075054.page GMT Blood For the Blood God - Blood Splatters!

Do you just use any old syringe or do you have a specific one?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/796789/11075083.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/796789/11075083.page GMT Blood For the Blood God - Blood Splatters! http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/796789/11075162.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/796789/11075162.page GMT Blood For the Blood God - Blood Splatters!

You can interrogate me all you want, but secretly I'm just three snotlings in a coat with an internet connection.

I'm just using a cheap 2-pack nail art syringe I got from the ￥100 shop - as long as the end of the needle is pretty small, I think you should be good (I wouldn't use a sharp needle, though hahaha).

Thanks so much! I've got about 11 of these shipping containers for terrain, but with that many, even with the weathering, it feels a little repetitive, so a few blood splats breaks things up nicely, imo! Been meaning to track down some Imperial propaganda posters, too, for some extra flavor

I will say, as a little addendum - if, like me, you live in a country with strict anti-drug laws, make sure you rinse your needly thoroughly afterwards. I noticed that after I had splashed a bit of gore about, some BFTBG had gathered in the bit of the syringe where the needle meets the syringe-y bit. This doesn't look (Dear Emperor, I am a good boy, and don't know what drugs look like, promise) at all unlike a needle that's been used intravenously, and could lead to raised eyebrows. Flushing water through the thing a few times seems to work fine.

Could you post a picture of the syringe so we get a sense of what kind of art syringe you're using?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/796789/11077423.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/796789/11077423.page GMT Re:Blood For the Blood God - Blood Splatters! ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/796789/11077524.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/796789/11077524.page GMT Blood For the Blood God - Blood Splatters! http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/796789/11077532.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/796789/11077532.page GMT
