I’ve done a test piece for the basing I’m going to use – some step pics below.

 

 

Vallejo Ground Texture (Rough White Pumice)Vallejo Ground Texture (Rough White Pumice)

Here’s the colours / technique I tried to use :

Mud: 

VGC Beasty Brown

VMC Flat Earth – heavy drybrush

Terminatus Stone – drybrush

 

 

Pools:

(old GW) Rotting Flesh (would be Nurgling Green now I think) mixed with some Steel Legion Drab

Stegadon Scale Green  mixed with Steel Legion Drab

Then (tried) to wet blend the two colours.

Next step was a wash of Agrax Earthshade all over (but avoid too much or pooling on the watery bits).

Final step when everything is try was to add some realistic water. It sort of seeped on to the mud bits but in the end that doesn’t look to bad I think. Adds something to it.

I think that’ll work out ok, especially when I’ve added rocks and foliage into the mix so I’ll give it a go…

Looks really cool! The water effect going over the land is not bad at all, it makes it look more realistic.
