@lawnor – Cool that you tried my “clean dirt” out, great you liked it! I think your figures and bases turned out real well, but I will naturally tell you how I normally do my bases. First I build the mini with the completed ground, meaning the ground gets the zenithal black/white highlight as well. I think this is an added benefit, as I then airbrush on Vallejo Game Air “Earth”. The larger rocks and smaller gravel that I find interesting is picked out with GW “Karnak Stone” or similar, just as long as it is lighter in colour than the base. Normally I put on a even lighter colour sparingly for highlighting, but this is a fast step if needed. As you know, it is all about breaking up the symmetries in the base, thereby making it more natural. There the grasses and tufts which come afterwards matter a lot. 🙂

@144artist – Nice work, that looks very good!
