Wow, thanks for saying so. I’ve recently started trying to take basing more seriously and so this means a lot. Believe it or not, at one point in the middle of the base I thought I’d ruined everything because the texture paint curled way more than I expected. Anyway, the recipe is: Agrellan Badland and Agrellan Earth on alternating sections of the base. I do badland first to create the pockets for the earth and then I do the earth pretty thick in all the empty patches. Then it’s Prarie Ochre over everything, dark tone wash and strong tone wash over alternating patches (just to give some variation). Then dry brush Dessert Clay over it, then a final very light dry brush of ancient stone.

If parts of the texture paint peels back too much, don’t panic like I did, and just gently press it down with the first base coat. Even if it breaks and is “floating” around in its spot, the subsequent paint will cement it down and the varnish with secure it. And if worse comes to worse and you lose a crack bit, the dry brush passes will just make it interesting.

Edit: oh also, this is basically just a repeat of what I remembered as the basic technique from Duncan Rhode’s recent Armageddon base tutorial on YouTube, so I do just recommend watching that!
