It's been 10+ years since I based a 40k model, and back then I used the old fashioned green flock.

This is my prototype, for my Dark Angels:





Half the base is covered in tiny pieces of broken up cork, and other other side with sand (some of it large pieces).

Grey drybrushed over black, followed by a lighter white drybrush.

My eyes aren't brilliant with certain colours, but the grass is supposed to look somewhat burnt/dead.

If you can see any brown among the "rocks", those are just the parts I missed with the undercoat, since this is only a rough prototype.

I would appreciate any advice.

Looks awesome man. Base away I say.

Full of win, is what I say!

I've always took exceptional care on my bases, and yours looks incredible!!

I'd be more than happy to base my miniatures on those as is!
