Martian or barren planet base 🪐

1 Get your bases and glue on some rocks from your garden. Or borrow them from your neighbor’s garden.

  



Martian or barren planet base 🪐 - step 1

Some small stones and ground texture (Vallejo) or sand with pva glue and let it dry. (I  
find that the ground texture from Vallejo give more control. The 200ml Vallejo yar will last you for many armys).


Martian or barren planet base 🪐 - step 2

Place some technical paint on the base, a little on rocks and more on base it self. Let  
dry. Extra tip use sand for extra texture on the crackle paint. But very little.

Only need one colour from the citadel technical earth or any brand as you can paint it  
any color you want!!!

Citadel Technical Mordant Earth

Prime your base with a black color. Now that the base is primed you can already see  
everything coming together. Now lets get some colors in!

Vallejo Black Primer

Dry brush your base color hull red or any dark red colour.

Dry brush a red brown not as thick as your base layer. We want to keep the darker shadows. I used Deep Brown from AK but any mid thone red brown will do.

The final step is a very light dry brush of light earth. To make a base look good always paint the rim of the base.
