Spinsanity Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Maybe your search-fu might come up with more results than mine, but I know someone a few months or even years ago showed a custom "handprint brush" (I'd have to assume it was poom), since I can't find anything unfortunately... Maybe someone else has a link or file saved somewhere?

Major_Gilbear Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 I remember somebody made a stamp from a plastic Fantasy Zombie hand, and then just dipped in a red ink/paint "blood" mix and applied it to the model. The result looked more effective than you'd think it would!

Guiltysparc Posted August 30, 2016 Author Share Posted August 30, 2016 oh man, that is brilliant! Maybe something like a hand shaped piece of foam would do it also.

Guiltysparc Posted August 30, 2016 Author Share Posted August 30, 2016 I bet there is a model in my silver tower set that has an open hand that would work for this...

Spinsanity Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 IIRC, the best results I saw used a slightly rubbery substance to reproduce an open hand of a model, to give it some flexibility so it would follow power-armour contours better... I sincerely wish I could find the article I was referring to, because it was brilliant and there were very good pictures of the brush being used Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/325303-world-eaters-bloody-hand/#findComment-4484325 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire Golem Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 It was on warseer I think, which unfortunately is down. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/325303-world-eaters-bloody-hand/#findComment-4484342 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major_Gilbear Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 I'm sure I remember seeing it on the Studio McVey forums a good while back, but I can't find it now. If I come across it. I'll post a link here. Also, don't forget; you want it to be recognisable as a bloody hand print, but you don't actually want a good print or it spoils the effect rather. A plastic Zombie had worked well because the fingers were splayed and the hand was slightly curled. You don't even need a full hand print either - finger tips sliding to/off the edge of an armour panel look good too!

DuskRaider Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 The "handprint brush" was a creation of Poom, I believe. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/325303-world-eaters-bloody-hand/#findComment-4484437 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soldier of Dorn Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 KrautScientist did something similar, I believe, when working on his Knight. I did a bloody handprint on one of my Dreadnought a while back with just a brush, let me see if I can't snap a few pics later on.

Nemac Vradon Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Welcome :), nor did I. I just did a google search for images using "bloody handprint brush b&c" and it came up.

Spinsanity Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Ugh, I didn't think to add BnC or B&C to my search terms, but otherwise searched for the exact same terms (plus a dozen vatiations) and all that ever came up were photoshop brushes... /sigh Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/325303-world-eaters-bloody-hand/#findComment-4485881 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did a bloody handprint on one of my Dreadnought a while back with just a brush, let me see if I can't snap a few pics later on. Cheers for the shout out, mate! You're quite right: I made a "handprint brush" to apply bloody handprints to the shin armour of my Chaos Knight... ...and ended up painting most of them by hand, because it just produced the better results. Made me feel a bit stupid, too, after going through all that trouble Possibly the best part of the brush I made, however, was to use it to make a dozen or so handprints on a piece of paper: That gave me a really good idea of the size and shape I needed, which made painting those prints much easier.

Xin Ceithan Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 I was really taken by the Hand Brush aproach back then. Funny to hear how that turned out. Outside of freehand, a lot of Action figures come with extra hands these days. Gundam model kits also - you can actually buy different hands for these as standalone products. They're soft plastics, so getting a decent imprint is mostly a matter of colour saturation, I'd guess. For the less squimish, cut off some smurf hands. They should work fine, too. Also, who doesn't want to mutilate smurfs? Bonus points from the Warmaster!
