AK Interactive Volcanic Medium Rocks Diorama Terrain AK8305
🌋 What This Is
Real volcanic rock in medium size - larger pieces than the small version for more dramatic terrain features. Natural porous texture with dark red-brown to black volcanic tones. Perfect for lava boulders, alien rock formations, or hellish landscape features.
Larger Volcanic Pieces: Medium-sized chunks ideal for focal points on bases or substantial terrain features. Still lightweight despite being real volcanic stone. Natural rough texture and dark colouring.

🆚 Small vs Medium Volcanic Rocks
Small Volcanic
Size: 5-15mm
Use: Scatter, ground texture
Best for: Small bases, general scatter
Medium Volcanic (This)
Size: 10-25mm
Use: Focal features, boulders
Best for: Large bases, terrain pieces
Mix both sizes: Use medium pieces as focal points with small pieces scattered around for realistic variation and scale.
🔧 How To Use
1. Select piece that fits your base/terrain scale
2. Glue with PVA or superglue (use epoxy for heavy pieces)
3. Build up around rock with texture paste or smaller stones
4. Optional: paint lava effects between rocks
5. Drybrush or leave natural
Focal Point Technique: Place one medium piece off-center on base. Surround with small volcanic rocks and texture paste. Creates natural-looking rock outcrop with depth and interest.
🎨 Painting Options
Natural dark - Works as-is for volcanic terrain
Heat glow - Orange/red drybrush on edges for molten effect
Ash dusting - Light grey drybrush for volcanic ash coating
Alien worlds - Purple/green washes for exotic planets
Lava cracks - Paint crevices yellow-orange for glowing lava
💡 Application Examples
Daemon Prince Base (60mm): Central medium volcanic rock. Surround with small volcanic pieces. Paint base black, add orange lava cracks. Flame effects from rock crevices.
Lava Field Terrain: Multiple medium pieces as boulders. Fill gaps with texture paste. Paint areas between rocks as glowing lava. Gloss varnish on lava areas.
Alien World Diorama: Medium volcanic rocks as alien formations. Drybrush with purple/red. Add alien vegetation. Creates otherworldly landscape.
⚙️ Technical Notes
Weight: Lightweight porous volcanic stone - easier to work with than solid rock
Adhesion: Use strong glue for larger pieces - epoxy recommended for vertical mounting
Coverage: 100ml provides 8-12 medium pieces depending on size variation
Breaking: Can be broken with hammer/pliers for custom sizes
Stability: Larger pieces may need extra support - check balance before gluing
🎯 Who Should Buy This
Buy medium size if:
- You need dramatic focal point rocks on bases
- Building terrain with substantial volcanic features
- Creating large dioramas or display bases
- Working with 40mm+ bases or monster-sized miniatures
Buy small size instead if:
- You need ground scatter for 25-32mm bases
- Want more pieces for general texture coverage
- Creating subtle rocky ground rather than bold features
🌋 Medium Volcanic Rock for Bold Terrain Features
100ml of larger volcanic stone pieces. Perfect for dramatic base features, lava field boulders, and terrain centerpieces. Natural dark volcanic tones with porous texture - ready to use or paint.
