As a fellow beginner I complete the model first then glue it to the bare base. I then brush PVA glue into the base and add small stones mixed with sand from the citadel basing kit. Once the glue is dry I ink it with nuln oil and then drybrushing it with white paint. It's pretty basic but it does the job. On larger models I'll often add a little highlight from the basing kit such as some resin skulls or shell casings.
