GW RoughtCoat - What is it used for?

[Dark_Templar]

I have found a store with half a dozen cans of Roughcoat, and I am interested in picking one up, but am not sure what I would use it for.

Any tips?

Use it on terrain. It leaves a really nice texture on stuff. Sort of a plaster ceiling look.

Aaahh, top thinking. Might just pick one up and play around with it a bit.

Also very useful for ruining the bottom half of a Chimera!! ....Dont be lazy with weathering...keep it away from your tanks.

Don't use it on anything detailed, you'll ruin it. That includes the Imperial terrain pieces GW sells. Now, if you've made a bastion out of plastic card and want it to look less like... well, a cube of plasticard, then it is good for adding some texture, and then you can add fine details over the top. Masking off areas you don't want textured works well.

I think you're using too much. I've used it on all my terrain and it hasn't ruined any detail. Looks great, too, especially with drybrushing.

Hm... interesting thoughts. I might have to try this out. I was thinking on using it for plaster walls of fantasty buildings.
