The Story
Mordant Earth cracks itself into dark, scorched ground as it dries — the ideal foundation for blasted battlefields, daemon worlds and ash-black wastelands. Brush it straight onto a base, leave it be, and it splits into convincing dry fissures with no sculpting required. The darker tone makes it a natural under sinister, grimdark colour schemes.
