Another Example of Kroma Crackle

Make sure your base is painted a contrasting colour that you'd like to show through once things are dried OR a lighter colour you can apply a wash to afterward. (You'll notice in the photos below I had to redo some of the steps because I painted it white first and didn't get the contrast I wanted.) As above, the medium mixes well with paints, don't be afraid to mix it to the colour and consistency you'd like to get. Use a tool like a metal pick or pin to scoop and apply the mixed medium to the base of the miniature. Be sure to apply it thick because it's going to lose a lot of volume as it dries. Once it dries, you can scrape and repaint the edges to get the form and space you're after.

Another type of Crackle

Paint the dagger red. Cover the dagger in crackle medium

With this type, the thickness determines how much it crackles. After so many minutes or once the medium has dried, paint the dagger black. Wait

As the crackle medium fully dries, it pulls apart the top layer of paint, showing the red underneath.
