ShinyRhino Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 I've been looking at the old edition of "How To Make Wargaming Terrain" put out by GW, and they repeatedly mention some sort of spray paint called "Rough Coat" for giving plastic parts a stony texture. Doesn't look like GW even sells this stuff anymore. Anyone know of a reasonable alternative that isn't TOO textured? I've seen the Krylon Stone Textures paints and such, and used the resin sand additive that you dump in a quart of latex wall paint. However, I want to give the GW plastic terrain kits I have (Sanctum Imperialis, Manufactorum, etc) a sandstone texture, withut obliterating all of the fine detail. Both the Stone Textures and resin sand additives would clog these things so badly, it's not even funny. Anyone have any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WingsOfTheFalcon Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 I think this is from when they used to do coloured primers etc, you can buy textured spray paint from many hardware stores. My suggestion would be to buy a can and try it out on a bit of sprue, then post pictures! :teehee: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShinyRhino Posted January 18, 2011 Author Share Posted January 18, 2011 I definitely plan to drybrush the buildings when they're done, but if there's no texture to capture, drybrushing isn't effective ;). I guess I'll have to resort to testing on sprue. At least I have tons of THAT around! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
averykess Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 you could try dusting on some fine sand into the wet paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alphz Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Many fine art stores generally have textured paint and spray paint which achieves a large variety of textures for what us miniature collectors would consider very cheap! Check out one near you :lol: Places like bulk hardware stores and generic super stores (the name eludes me) can have cheaper alternatives to the fine art ones as well for an even more 'on the budget' terrain producer.

Art shows/shops will sell it mind....and probably DIY stores. its worth googling aswelll tbh...there are alot of stockists that sell OOP GW stuff...like paints, inks and sprays..
