I've had a few requests for information on how I base my miniatures so here's a walkthrough. First, the contents of my basing materials drawer: grass tufts and static grass of various shades, flocks of various hues, modellers grit of different grades, talus, field grass, torn up wine corks, slate chippings, a bit of my neighbour's old door mat and some dried up sweet chestnut cases.
with Foundry Granite B then C.
Then the grit gets a drybrushing of this excellent earth tone paint from Miniatures Paints (I'm not sure that you can still get this... good job I have plenty more).
Then a light drybrushing with Vallejo Model Colour USA Tan Earth.

Now the fun bit. A few grass tufts, dark and light, and a "weed" tuft.
Some dark green flock.
And then some mid-green and light green flock.

Some short bits of field grass glued into the place where the four pieces of slate meet and form a convienient hole to support this material as the glue dries.

Now for the arid base. The rocks get a drybrushing with Foundry Base Sand A, B, and C with a final highlight of Vallejo Model Colour Pale Sand.
