How do!

Planning a non-gaming related project of five, and I’ll be wanting some texture acrylics.

Something akin to GW’s ones, just in a larger pot would be ideal. And recommendations?

AK Interactive has many sorts of acrylic pastes, but the jars are still "hobby" sized, you wont be painting a house with them.. they are larger tubs than GWs though

I use both Vallejo and AK, both come in much, much larger pots than GW, both are excellent.

Once you've tried them you won't look back

You can look in your do it your own shops for textered wal paint. I did my table with it and it looks now like a dessert.

I use Vallejo Sand Paste which I love. It comes in a huge jar (at least relative to GW paints).

I use the Vallejo ones, works fine, cheaper per ml than GW's. Some of them have more varied "grit" in them, so it's not simply sand+paint but also has what looks like little wood chips and stuff to give a more realistic mud-look. Others are just sand + paint.

If I had to do a big job (e.g. an entire board) I might look into hardware store texture paint or making my own.
