The listing says these have been undercoated with Blood Angels red spray paint.

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 base-coated my Marines on their sprues.

Very quick it was too!

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 :D
