The listing says these have been undercoated with Blood Angels red spray paint. Regards, Reaver |

obvious fake. Sorry to say that the red blood thing is not credible for 2 reasons. 1 - Who actually sprays entire sprues? 2 - if you zoom in you see its too flat and not textured like spray - especially in recess areas... im sure they are just as good on another note...i remember there was a type of titan with a red plastic. |

You just don't copy entire plastic sprues of this nature casually. It must be legitimate. |

I've heard of people primering whole sprues. Yes, Beetleback Warlords did come in red plastic. I have several of them. |

Trust me, they prime ENTIRE intact sprues. Usually VERY HEAVILY. I did get some primed (old)Chaos sprues the other day that had such a good primer coat, I'm going to use it. |

Yeah, I know guys who paint everything on sprue. Never worked for me 'cause the frustration level of trying to get pre-painted infantry into the bases well and truly counter-acted the benefits of improved paint jobs....and often lead to small infantrymen being smashed flat if levels got too high

Those are the sprues from the original Tyranid swarm box. I have some of the same. Plenty of people spray their models while they are on the sprue. I used to do that unitl I found I had trouble getting them in their little bases afterward. |

I spray bomb anytime i can save Time, Imagine having to paint the entire DA chapter, then imagine Spray bombing in DA green, basing them and adding a little detail. If the Army is composed of all roughly the same color it is a huge time saver. I use to primer all my stuff and then paint it on sprues, it made it easy, just found that i had difficulty getting them into the bases. The fix for that was a Dremel motor tool and a sanding bit
