We All Come to an End
Basing begins
Time to make some texture paint. Here we have a disposable pint glass to mix it in. A tongue depresser for stirring. An ice cream tub full of sand. Some cheap filler in a squeezy tube and some cheap dark brown paint. 
I've added a dollop of filler and a few large pinches of sand to the cup. Right now it looks like fossilised cat turds in a litter tray. 
I've added a splat of paint to the tub. I then mixed it all together. The mixture was a tad dry so a stirred in another splat of paint to moisten it up.
The finished mixture. I applied this to the bases with the GW texture paint spatula thingy. 
An hour later I had this. Once they're dry I'm going to paint the edges of the bases and then it's on to the flocking. 
Adding filler to the mix was a good idea, I’d have thought to use sand but filler does give that thicker texture for the bases.
I’ve been using this technique for my kings of war multi bases for about a year. I figured I’d apply it on my terrain as well. You can make loads up really cheap which is a huge bonus.
I got the technique from Lukes aps on YouTube.
