Product Information
Full details
Citadel Agrellan Earth is a specialized technical paint designed for hobbyists looking to create realistic, cracked-earth effects on miniature bases with minimal effort. It is ideal for Warhammer and other tabletop miniatures, providing a professional-looking desert or arid environment texture that dries to a stable, flat finish. The primary caveat for users is that the crackle pattern and density depend significantly on the thickness of the application, requiring a bit of experimentation to achieve the desired look.

FAQs
Can I use Agrellan Earth on my miniature's armor?
This paint is specifically designed for bases. Using it on armor will obscure fine details and create an unintentional weathered effect.
Does it need to be varnished after drying?
While it dries to a stable finish, applying a matte varnish can help protect the textured surface if the miniature is handled frequently during gameplay.
How long does it take to crack?
You will usually see the cracking effect begin within 30 to 60 minutes as it dries, but it should be left for several hours to fully cure.
Can I mix it with other paints?
It is not recommended to mix this with standard acrylics, as it may disrupt the chemical reaction required to create the crackle effect.
Is this paint toxic?
No, it is a non-toxic, water-based acrylic paint safe for standard hobby use.
Troubleshooting
The paint did not crack as expected.
The application was likely too thin. Try applying a thicker layer to allow the paint enough mass to pull apart during the drying process.
The paint is flaking off the base.
Ensure the base was properly primed before application; texture paints require a primed surface to grip effectively.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To prepare your base, ensure it is primed with a standard Citadel spray undercoat. Once the primer is dry, apply Agrellan Earth directly from the pot. If the paint feels too thick, you can thin it very slightly with water, though adding too much water may interfere with the crackle mechanism.
- Compatibility: Works on all plastic, metal, and resin models.
- Care: Always seal your pot tightly after use to prevent the paint from drying out. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. If your brush becomes caked with texture medium, wash it immediately with warm water and brush soap.
