Was suggested to base my purple tau on a moonscape type looking bases. How would this be done?

Kinda thinking white/grey pumice with watered down nuln oil for depth and a off white drybrush. anyone else have ideas or tips/pics?

Try the Games Workshop texture paints. Great paints that can take a wash and drybrush to create a nice effect in a number of colours.

Citadel Paint App is great for this kind of thing.

Any "moonscape" bases you see for GW tend to be done with their 'Urban Debris' color scheme.
-Astrogranite Debris(this is a texture! it's thick and goopy. highly suggest their tool or something similar if you want to be able to shape/play with it. don't use an actual brush)
-Shade with Agrax Earthshade
-Drybrush Tyrant Skull

Finished!

I think the best way to make it look like a moonscape is to make it dusty, which can be done super easily with a grey pigment powder and a pigment fixer/white spirits.
