Agrellan Earth Bases

Today we'll be using some Citadel texture paints to make bases for miniatures. Agrellan Earth is an interesting texture paint as it is a liquid that looks like a regular paint, however, when it dries it cracks to give a salt flat like look. For today's make you will need: 

• Agrellan Earth

• Miniature Bases

• Citadel paints

• Brushes

Agrellan Earth can be fairly unpredictable but what should happen is that the texture will dry to reveal the base underneath. First undercoat the base and then paint the top to the colour you want to be revealed. 

Next up build up a layer of Agrellan Earth leaving thick splodges on the base. Give this at least thirty minutes to dry out. 

Once dry use a wash to add further depth. 

Finally, dry brush with a highlight colour. 

Play around with it and see what works for you. Here are some of the ways I've tried and the paints that I used:

3. Gently paint over with Abaddon Black

4. Drybrush with Dawnstone

5. Drybrush with Ryza Rust on the cracked area
