Citadel Technical: Martian Ironcrust 24ml

Martian Ironcrust lays down a rust-red, crusted texture that looks like the surface of a dying world — perfect for ash wastes, red planets and corroded industrial ground. Brush it on thick and it dries to a rough, mineral crust your models can stand proud on, no sculpting or static grass gymnastics required. Ideal when you want a base that tells a story before you've even reached for a brush.
