Ammo

Ionic Drybrush Groundwork

This Ionic Drybrush Groundwork from Ammo is a high-quality acrylic paint designed specifically for drybrushing techniques. It offers smooth coverage with a semi-matte finish, making it suitable for enhancing textures across terrain, bases, and model surfaces. As part of the Ionic Smart Drybrush range, it is formulated for direct use without additional thinning.

The groundwork tone is ideal for representing earth, soil, and natural surfaces, making it particularly useful for dioramas and basing work. It can be applied over darker base colours to highlight raised textures, helping to define surface details and create a more natural appearance. The paint’s consistency allows for controlled application, ensuring that fine detail remains visible while building up subtle highlights.

Application follows standard drybrushing techniques. A moderate amount of paint is loaded onto a brush, with excess removed on an absorbent surface before lightly brushing over raised areas. This allows the paint to catch on textures and edges, producing consistent results with minimal effort.

Drybrushing is a widely used technique in modelling, particularly for terrain and basing where texture plays a key role. By applying lighter tones over darker surfaces, it helps create depth and realism without complex methods. Colours such as groundwork shades are especially effective for simulating natural environments, adding variation and contrast to otherwise flat surfaces. This product provides a practical way to achieve these effects, offering reliable results across a range of modelling projects.
