Hi.

I would like to crackle some Stomrcast Armour. I need suggestion to what crackle paste to buy.

I am aiming for crackles like these:

Have you looked at Vallejo crackle medium? I have no idea if it will do what you want just highlighting it’s existence

NO I have not seen that. But it does not sound like a bad thing to look at.

Take this with a pinch of salt, because I've only seen it used on Gundam models, but nail polish shrinks as it dries, and can crackle like that, too.
I've seen people use GW texture paints to get a similar effect as well, but I think mostly on larger minis/terrain.

Games Workshop texture paints should provide exactly the effect seen on Stormcast. Agrellan Earth, Martian Ironearth or Mordant Earth.

That place is the harsh dark future far left with only war left.

Can you then paint them with another colour

yeah, you can just paint right over the top. The way I've seen done is that people apply them onto bare plastic, and then spray the mini after to seal the crackled paint in, then paint with a brush etc. over the top of all of that.

But is not the gw paint very chunky? I stil want the original shape. At least on 33 mm sieze models.

Their crackle paints can get pretty thin with a bit of work, but any kind of effort like this will probably cause a bit of loss of detail where it is locally applied, I'd imagine. (I've never done this myself, just seen a few people achieve the same result)

This is the one that person used, logically it should give the exact same result
