There are all sorts of colour crackle paint available, I like Mordant Earth as I like the colour. Just search Crackle Paint on our website to see other options 😊 www.mightylancergames.co.uk/search?type=product&q=Crackle+paint

Do others paints have the same effect as the one pictured?

Yes it is great for Necrons 😀

Thank you

😁

What’s the glue for

@eenis1281 we believe it helps create larger cracks. You don’t have to use it. We have a more recent video showing the different effects of glue, varnish and no glue

We like to try and show people the products we sell in our friendly local gaming shop so we can help them in store etc. It is great you have a product in your area that you like as experimenting and hobbying is the joy for us all

Ooo i think the risk of burning the plastic and getting those fumes in my lungs or burning my fingers would put me off doing that. What difference does it make?

​@@MightyLancerGamesJust guessing but the heat would cause it to dry less evenly, so you'll get spots with different sizes of cracks.

It is designed to dry naturally (we are impatient and use a hairdryer on low) but i still wouldn’t risk a match, it would take forever 😂😂

You can but we prefer the pva method 😄

@@MightyLancerGames does pva need to dry before the mordant application?

Yes, every layer has to be dry before the next. Here we expand on it more kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fMd-Y9hzmbCoYn0.htmlsi=YKbqUWIOyF8MypIx

Haha no worries, have fun This one may help too kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fMd-Y9hzmbCoYn0.htmlsi=0ayHUWFuQ_o9Zx9q

Haha, it needs a lot of mixing

@@MightyLancerGames yeah it does lol

Haha, thank you.

Oh no, don’t use modge podge use pva for sure

Satisfying isnt it

@@MightyLancerGames yeahhh

Lots of fun too

Thank you

Indeed 😁

Hi yes you can use any colour underneath, we have other videos showing different colours if that helps

Indeed you can use any colour you like, in fact we have lots of other videos showing different colours and crackles . Happy hobbying

Yes it has lots of uses doesn’t it 😁

absolutely

Wonderful. If you add varnish (probably best if you are using them in a game & handled a lot) I would use spray so your brush doesn’t detach any flaky bits, but up to you

Absolutely, loads of ways to add extra detail for sure. Happy hobbying 😁

Yes, paint, dry, pva, dry, technical paint, dry . Hope that helps

Cool, have fun

If you wanted to use a varnish the Colour Forge one is good and so is GSW maxx matt (both of which we sell). The best thing to do is test them to see which suits your style before committing to a piece you have spent hours painting.

Hi, thank you. We find that it helps create better cracks but it is not necessary and only personal choice

You like it?

We did do a red / yellow one too. I can’t link in the comments but it is in our Painting For Beginners playlist called Cracking Base For Miniatures Hope that helps kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aMmbhtt5yM_Yd58.html

Let each layer dry first before applying the next

we have other videos showing lava styles but yes you can put what ever colour under that suits your needs 😀

We find the glue helps make better cracks

We have not had an issue but you could varnish over the top

Well we sell it 😂

What is mordant earth?

It is the technical paint. The paint that cracks to show the colour underneath This particular colour is called mordant earth www.mightylancergames.co.uk/search?type=product&q=Crackle+paint

Hi. No, every layer is dry before the next

You can, or you can glue the mini on and build the crackle around it over feet etc, up to you

we have am ice video on here too but any bright blue, maybe a Flour blue. experiment with a few ideas until you have what you need for your mini. Have fun

We do know people who have used varnish before but we find PVA works very well, we just use a cheap brand nothing fancy. Experiment and see what works best for you, have fun

There are a variety of colours from different manufacturers www.mightylancergames.co.uk/search?type=product&q=crackle+paint

It would obviously be a different colour but the crackle would be a cool effect. We do have a couple of crackle videos on here showing different colours 😁

I am afraid I am not sure what you mean, my paint it also dry. Tesseract Glow is a beautiful bright colour, you can get lots of colours out of one pot because it’s a pain for separating and takes a lot of shaking to get it to its intended state but this means there are various colours along the way

Personal preference really, I personally find you get better cracks with a layer of PVA before the technical paint (let the pva dry) but you do not have too

@@MightyLancerGames Super quick reply, thank you! Gonna try this method out!

No worries, have fun

Reaper Christmas wreath, dry, GW Tesseract Glow, GW Hexwraith flame, dry. Pva glue, dry. Mordant earth, dry. I did put the paint colours on the video but it does go by a little fast so hope that helps

You do not have to use it but we find it helps to achieve more cracks. The best thing to do is experiment

Them?

Hi there, we have done video on a red based crackle and indeed even did it on a miniature, we used bright reds, yellows and oranges

Depends which product you want really. Search crackle paint on our website (I can’t add a link that will work) and you should find them all 😃

No you can use any acrylic colour you like

@@MightyLancerGames Wow, that was quick, thanks !

No worries

No the technical paint does the cracking, it will still crack without pva, pva isn’t in the instructions for use. We just find it helps form larger cracks. You do not have to use PVA, it is personal choice

@@MightyLancerGamesoh man I just did something like this tonight wish I would of saw this before haha

@cptnpinhead7289 you will have to give this a try next time 😁

@@MightyLancerGames for sure! The pva would of helped a lot

Tesseract Glow really really needs shaking, more than anything you have shaken before

We also used this technique on a miniature in another video but have never tried it on anything small before, there needs to be enough room for the effect to be seen, for the cracks to spread and show the colour

It does crack on its own but i used a hairdryer for the video just to speed it up

@@MightyLancerGames thank you! I'm definitely going to try this out!

Absolutely its lots of fun and you can use any colour underneath you like

We find that the pva helps create bigger cracks. All layers are dry before applying the next. We used a hairdryer so approximately 5-10 minutes depending on thickness. You are supposed to let it dry naturally over night

@@MightyLancerGames thanks for the reply. I use citadel Armageddon Dust and no cracks. I did not use glue but let base paint dry before technicalz Do I let the layer of glue dry. Or technical onto wet glue.? {video showed dried after glue but it was extremely fast so I missed it multiple times} Thanks for the tips. I started painting after 15 years due to covid lockdown, and only did about 30 miniatures before 40k 10th came out I am looking for ideas. I’ve been my bases from thinks I can salvage or get at the local $1 store. Most of the people at the gaming stores are shocked by how good my models are painted, especially at my skill level. But they love my bases. I have photos of finished models and lists of what materials I used. I’ve raided my home garbage bin, used dirt from my garage floor, the local plant and dollar stores, and the construction site i work at. I have found rocks grass glitter dirt glass metal styrofoam etc that I could use to complement, blend or match the paint of models. My Tyranids are green and purple. I bought 4 things to base them. Green rocks and glitter and purple rocks and glitter. Tyranids deep strike by borrowing. My paint is perfect match camouflage to the base materials. How do I send you pictures?

@ryangriffiths5179 armegeddon dust isn’t a crackle paint, its a thick basing like a sand. If you type crackle paint into the search bar on our website you will find the correct technical paints

We find that it helps to form better cracks. You do not have to but we have found it helps, some people use varnish but we like PVA better

It lives here, we found it wandering the streets and took it in. (We find it helps make better cracks)

Haha

@MightyLancerGames all joking aside it looks really good, im new to warhammer and painting my first miniatures and definitely gonna do this

@eriktruchinskas3747 welcome to the community, just have fun and enjoy it

Hello. This is technical paint, this particular one is black, when applied over a colour (or not) the technical paint cracks as it dries showing the colours you painted underneath through

@@MightyLancerGames ohhhhhh. That’s sick ngl

Cool isnt it. There are other colours of crackle paint available (and we stock them) as well and indeed we have done other videos on these as well if that helps 😁

No, the thicker you apply it the different cracks will appear. A layer of pva (dried) before the crackle paint will also help with the cracking

You do not have to use the PVA but we find that it helps create better cracks (make sure all your layers are dry before applying the next, i.e paint dry before the PVA, PVA dry before the technical paint). Have fun 😄

@@MightyLancerGames I'm looking for big crack so I will try it soon. Thanks for your time have a good day

have a practice and experiment but we would suggest a tick layer of technical paint and natural drying to get the biggest cracks@@Eladriel12

@@MightyLancerGames Okay well I guess I'll try both way : with and whitout glue ^^ it's for my necron army and this will look so amazing. I dont know how but i will try to send you some picture once finished ^^ (sorry for my english, I'm french girl ^^)

@@MightyLancerGames and you earn a follower btw !!!

I have no idea what this means sorry

@@MightyLancerGames I wasn't going to look for a second video and was annoyed then I saw part 2 clipped on and wasn't annoyed anymore.

@delmuswu-tangbroadnax9056 haha ok, yeah we try our best 😄

The technical paint dries to form the cracks

Hello. PVA glue is a white glue, the kind children use in schools. I think it is called Elmos or something like that in America. Hope that helps

@@MightyLancerGames Elmer's glue is the brand you mean, also do you water it down cause some PVA glue I've seen people water it down

Depends on what you are using PVA for. For example making paper mache you water it down, for this you do not

@@MightyLancerGames so u used just glue and a brush for your base? Ok

@@novaenforcer1563 yes. Painted the colour, let it dry, painted on the pva, let is dry, painted on the crackle paint- it cracks. This video may also help you kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fMd-Y9hzmbCoYn0.html&pp=gAQBiAQB

Just normal one, kids pva

@@MightyLancerGames perfect many thanks :) speedy reply too! You've earned yourself a new sub

Ahh thank you that is very kind

You can add varnish if you are worried or just to protect on the tabletop 😄

Primer?

@@MightyLancerGames not primer the ground thingy hold on, technical isn’t it?

Haha yes technical paint, lots of fun isn’t it

No, we just find it helps give better cracks. It’s personal choice

You can use any base colour you like 😁

​@@MightyLancerGames do u have to use glue?

Absolutely not, the PVA is only a personal preference of ours as we find it helps make better cracks, some people use varnish but you don’t have to use anything at all

@@MightyLancerGames thanks for the responses your work is awesome.

No worries & thank you

😂
