Citadel Technical: Martian Ironearth 24ml

Martian Ironearth does the clever bit for you: brush it on, walk away, and it cracks itself into a dry, rust-red riverbed as it dries. It's the express route to parched red worlds and drought-stricken battlefields, giving you dramatic cracked-earth texture with zero sculpting. Spread it thicker for deeper fissures, thinner for fine cracks — the effect is in your hands.

One coat and a bit of patience does what used to take greenstuff and a steady hand.
