AK Interactive Gouaches Weathering Effects Set (AKG25)

For the grime that makes armour look like it's actually been to war, this is a cracking starting point. Curated by Adam Wilder, the Weathering Effects Set gathers the gouache tones for rust, dirt and smoke — plus a Snow White for winter schemes — so you've got the workhorse weathering palette in a single box.

At a glance

Why it's good

• The core weathering palette ready to go — no buying pots piecemeal
• Mixable with fillers for extra body and texture
• Reactivates with water, so effects stay adjustable long after drying

Layer rust into recesses, drift smoke up from exhausts and dust everything down — all with paint you can rework until it's convincing.

Battle-worn armour, straight out of one box. Slots in alongside the wider AK weathering range.
