Groundwork can make or break a base, and this Wargame Color set gives you a ready-made palette of stone and rock tones. The coordinated greys run from a deep shadow shade through to a bright edge highlight, so you can bring out the texture in rubble, boulders and ruined masonry in a few logical steps.

They are water-based acrylics that brush on smoothly and dry matt, taking a wash beautifully when you want to sink the shadows further.
