Nothing undoes a nicely painted miniature like a bare plastic base. Rocky Sand is the fast fix: a fine, mixed-texture basing sand from the Battlefields & Basing range by Warlord Games and War World Scenics, turning flat bases into convincing broken ground in minutes. It's just as handy across a diorama or a terrain board when you need larger areas of natural-looking earth.
How to use it
- Brush watered-down PVA onto the base, dip or sprinkle, and tap off the excess
- Seal with another thin coat of PVA, then drybrush or wash to match your force
- Mix with tufts, rocks or static grass for extra variety
Best for
- Rocky, arid or scrubland bases for any game system
- Adding texture variation to terrain boards and dioramas
- Keeping a whole army's basing consistent — one shaker goes a long way
One 180ml shaker will base a serious number of miniatures, and because it takes paint and washes well, it'll match whatever theme your army is already on.
An easy upgrade for any force. Browse the full range of basing materials to mix up your groundwork.
