A freshly painted tank looks lovely — and completely unconvincing. Nothing has clean tracks after crossing a battlefield. Dark Earth is Green Stuff World's liquid answer to messy dry pigments: a water-based, deep earthy brown that brushes straight on and dries to a matte, dusty finish that stays put without a fixer spray in sight.
Best for
- Dusting tank tracks, lower hulls, boots and cloak hems with dried mud
- Thinning with water into subtle earthy washes for recesses and basing
- Airbrushing layered road dust across vehicles and scenery
- Grubbying up bases so your minis look like they've actually been somewhere
Being water-based it's non-toxic, has no solvent stink, and cleans off your brushes with plain water — weathering without the faff.
Give it a proper shake — there's a mixing ball in the bottle. Add rust and verdigris tones from the rest of our Green Stuff World pigments, or browse the full GSW paints and effects range.
