Subject: How to paint desert sand on bases. Advise request
since they come unpainted i am not sure what colurs would be best to use to gain a nice desert colour like this. Please could you all advise what layers etc i should use. Please note that i have mainly the old GW paints (the ones before the current wave of paints)
a rough guide of steps would be much appreciated
thanks heaps all

Khemri brown, drybrush 50-50 khemri / bleached bone,
few washes here and there with sepia and devlan mud - just patches, not the whole base, drybrush bleached bone, drybrush 50-50 bone/white.
Should be pretty deserty.

Experiment on a few bases with the above methods...or try some of your own...see what works for you.
Then try one with your model on it...does it look ok with your color scheme? Lastly, you might need a different color on the edge of the base, if you need to compliment or bridge the colors between the model and the base.
best of luck!!!
