A limestone texture with a reddish, fiery tone that gives the ground a crimson patina. It is the soil of a battlefield where much blood was spilled, or the surface of a planet scorched by a red sun – bold, yet it still reads as earth rather than paint. 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.

Create a warm desert transition with Sunrise Blaze and darker scorched patches with Volcanic Earth. Pick out bones and bleached stones with White Ashes pigment.
Is the red not too strong?
For fantasy and sci-fi that is exactly the effect. To tone it down, go over the dry paste with a thinned brown wash – the red stays in the texture but the whole looks earthier.
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.
