Hexed ground
As we all knew, flat black bases didn't suffice. If my mud goo sets were still alive, they were a potential source to be mixed with the ballast. Ballast as it was wasn't going to be the base I wanted, even if it somehow fit the desert theme. Maybe I could consider something I did for Morgan Kell's Archer.
White glue and ballast
First step was to spread white glue over the ground, and let it to set for a short moment. Then I sprinkled Woodland Scenics' ballast on that. There were some odd bits of foliage in my mix, so some unplanned greenery got added.
Then, predictably, I let them to dry for a while.
Oiling the terrain
To make the terrain less schorched desert -like, I painted over it with Abteilung's Earth (ABT093) and then added some random stains of thinned down Industrial Earth (ABT090).
Once again I left my Star into the sauna to flash after I was done with the oily mess. Despite being mostly dry the oil paint glistened for a bunch of days.
There were some trash nuggets flowing over the edges and those I'd clean up before packing the minis away. Nothing larger was going to happen at this point, anyway, these were done.
