I am trying to find some bases with a desert theme for my Tallarn Raiders, and was wondering if anyone had a y suggestions for some brands or sites?

Secret Weapon Miniatures do some really nice looking ones; full disclosure I’ve never actually bought any, because it’s not cheap (particularly for a Guard army).

There are loads of types of desert. Have a look on Google images and pick one.

Desert bases are really easy to make, I wouldn't buy any but there are some good manufacturers of cactus, skulls, tufts and other desert bits that'll help sell the idea.

What about a 2 tone salt desert as shown in The Last Jedi? You could show footprints and vehicle tracks as well as rocks and stuff.

Make your own.

To expand on the last bit, tan to orange yellow paint mixed into or painted on plaster from the hardware store generally makes a decent "rolling sand" kind of base you can then work from, or alternatively vallejo and others makes a "crackle medium" if you prefer the dried salt flats look.

This was just a sand / grit mix glued to the base then drybrushed:
