Just used the oxidizing green one on an old marine statue. It's freekin class a stuff. Have done some oxidizing myself with some other products but this stuff is so easy and looks better than others I've tried. Well impressed.

Has anyone used the blood for jewels, marine helmet eyes etc?

Holy crap, must try!

Got them all (except the cracked earth one).

Blood for the blood god and nurgle rot are great. By far the best blood finish I've seen and extremely simple to do. Nurgle rot gives an unique finish, that I could never have achieved without it.

Corrosions a little less out there, and I tought it's a bit like a browner version of P3 armour wash.I don't think it's too useful unless your using it with rust, which gave really good result (much better than real rust that you get by mixing bleach, vinegear and steel wool).

Haven't try the verdigris one. I'll compare it with the Vallejo one that I've got

Would it be possible to mix the Agrellan earth with some red to get a "mars red dust" look?

As an aside, the guy at the FLGS complained that they supply them in packs of six, but the display they were given only holds four.

I'll give it a try real quick and see what I get. Will also try with blue, black, and green. Going to use the foundation paints as they have more pigment.

EDIT:

They are hard to mix to get a consistency that still crackles. It seems like you can use very little paint, just enough to tint it. DO NOT USE AIRBRUSH PAINT! Tried my Vallejo Model Air black, it just thinned the technical paint out and was useless.

Agrellan Earth + Mephiston Read:


Agrellan Earth + Caledor Sky:


Agrellan Earth + Caliban Green:


Agrellan Earth + Vallejo Model Air Black:


Compare these to just Agrellan Earth over a black primer base:



Conclusion: Agrellan Earth works best without being mixed. It may be possible to use this as a base texture then airbrush over it to get a color you want. I can try this out tomorrow. It seems like it would also help seal it so you can get a drybrush on it.

For another test, what about with one of the textured paints?

Thanks Whumbachumba! The red came out looking pretty decent. Perhaps mixing it with one of the thinner layer paints may yield better crackle effects.

I can try it out tomorrow.

AduroT, which texture paints do you mean?

With the earth paint. Oce dried and cracked could you spray over the top? I'm thinking of using it on buildings as heat damage to paintwork, but will need to apply before spraying the main building colours using army painter sprays probably or even an airbrush...

The GW ones where they look like they've got sand mixed into the paint but they really don't. I forget what they called those.

I have not tried yet, but you should be able to skyway over it fine. Should help it seal the flakes on too.

AduroT, looks like the ones I did have are all died out. Sorry.

Used some Nurgle's rot for my storm of magic daemons pact , hope this is visible enough since i took a pic from my phone. I am quite happy with the results , i painted dark angels green the waagh flesh and finally nurgle's rot.Used also the blood for the blood god which i also find quite awesome.

Does have a fairly slick goopy gungey look..

Did a bit more testing with these today. Tried airburshing over it and using Midland Tuft on an unpainted, really like the results of the latter.

Airbrushing does seem like a much better option for changing the color than mixing in paints did, but it will prevent you from doing basing colors underneath such as the lava effect.



Midland Tuft mixes really really well with the standard color.




NOTE: All the flakes on my cutting mat are not from bases flaking off, but from the pot itself where the paint dried around the rim.

Just got back an email from GW customer support about my post of the Agrellan Earth not cracking

they officially confirm (as others have suggested) that a bad batch got out to some of the UK stores but it's been pulled from sale (and I'll get a replacement at the weekend)

so if yours does not work(even when put on really thick) you've probably got the dud stuff too, take it back to the shop or email GW and they'll give you a freepost address to send it back to for a posted replacement if it's not convenient

Looks good man, I'll definitely be rolling the Agrellan Earth and grass out for my Necron bases.

B4TBG experiment- using stippling for blood spatter. Apologies for the pants image.
