I found a way to create blood splatter effects using an empty Vallejo paint bottle. For this demostartion, I used GW's inks. One word of warning before you begin, clear your work area of part painted/finish models. Reason is it might get messy if you were to accidentally splash some inks all over when you shut the covers of those ink bottles.

Wash, clean & dry your empty bottle. Prepapre a mix of the inks or whatever medium you are using to create the effect. Then squeeze the bottle and suck up some of those inks you have mixed.

After that, you can start testing out the colour and intensity of the splatter you wanna acheive. You can actually blow the inks around using the bottle.

Below you can see 2 different effects I created on the base and the final model itself. Have fun!

Hey StupidCow, that is quite ingenious! I have some paint bottle laying around I'll have to try this out.

Glad it was helpful to some. I find the toothbrush method rather hard to control where the droplets fly. This is much easier at least for me.

Excellent piece! I started using theatrical blood (I personally like Snazaroo's Theatre Blood and Gel Blood) for blood effects, but your method certainly shows more promise than most of the 'painted' blood I've seen.
