This pale greyish texture recreates ground dominated by quartz minerals or lime-rich layers – dried-out plateaus, ashen wastelands and planet surfaces where nothing grows. The light tone also makes dark, saturated miniature colours stand out. It belongs to the Wargame Terrains line, which means a smaller 100 ml pot at a price that suits a wargamer building bases in batches rather than one large diorama.

Bring out a dusty look with White Ashes pigment and add contrasting grass with Summer Green Tufts. Build ruins and paving on the same base from Concrete and fix gravel with Gravel and Sand Fixer.
Will the base not look too pale?
That is the point – a light base separates the miniature from the ground. For more depth, run a thinned brown or grey wash into the recesses.
How do I clean my tools?
Water, as long as the paste is still wet. Rinse the spatula and the old brush right after use – cured acrylic paste will not come off.
Can the paste be thinned?
Yes, with water or acrylic thinner if you need it to flow better. Thinning costs it some shape retention, so go easy.
