boots468 Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Hi all - I'm halfway through an army, and my last Citadel Sand has ran out. Doesn't appear to be on GW's site anymore, and I asked my local store and they thought it's gone too. Does anyone have any good replacements? I have tried a different supplier before, but it was all far too fine or too coarse - if it was for a new army it'd be fine, but I think the difference would really stand out compared to the existing ones. (Also, I live in the midlands in the UK, just popping to the beach isn't an option 😁 ) Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redking Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Strange, it’s off the US site too. Maybe they are repackaging it again or trying to move people to the texture paint. Woodland Scenics has several grains of basing material. Gale Force 9 and the Army Painter have alternatives, as well. You could also go the Home Depot equivalent and pick up a big bag of playground sand. That will last you a lifetime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aelfric Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 I use general building sand that I dry out. It may be a bit coarse, but if so you could sieve it with a fine sieve or mesh until it matches. It's certainly a lot cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scumdogsith Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Did you have any luck finding a good match? I am currently having this issue myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
