Games Workshop Armageddon Dust – 24ml Technical Paint for Textured Bases

Overview

Armageddon Dust is a water‑based technical paint from Games Workshop, crafted to add tactile texture to your model bases. Supplied in a 24ml pot, it lets you build up gritty groundwork, mimicking churned earth, dusty gravel, and worn terrain on your miniatures. The formula is designed for easy layering, so you can control the level of texture without heavy tools or messy setups.

What you can achieve

With Armageddon Dust, you can bring grounded realism to your dioramas and squad models. Its earthy character pairs well with natural tones and other basing materials to create cohesive, story‑driven scenes. Possible effects include rugged soil textures for infantry basing, dusty flats for desert or ruin landscapes, and weathered edges that suggest long‑term wear on transport or siege models.

• Churned earth and dusty ground textures for bases
• Rusty or gritty surfaces to imply wear and age
• Depth and atmospheric variation when layered with other paints

How to use

Prepare your model and base, then shake the pot to re‑suspend pigments. Apply sparingly with a brush to edges and recessed or raised areas where texture is desired. Layer gradually to build depth, allowing each coat to dry. Finish with your preferred protective varnish to seal the texture.

• Shake well before use to re‑activate pigments
• Apply sparingly; focus on base areas and texture hotspots
• Layer for more pronounced texture; let each layer dry
• Seal with a varnish to protect the finish
