Skull Pass title bar
With simple techniques, you can achieve a wide variety of looks for your miniatures' bases. It is best to use the same technique for an entire army to maintain a cohesive appearance.

1
Simple Painted Bases. The easiest way to finish your bases is to paint them an appropriate color. Goblin Green and Graveyard Earth are common choices.
2
Sanded Bases. Sand can also be glued to your bases to provide texture. This is easier (but not essential) to do after assembling your model, but before painting. After the rest of the model is finished, you can paint the sand the colors of your choice.
3
Flocked Bases. There are a number of modeling products available that provide a realistic texture for your bases, including flock and static grass. They are glued to your bases the same as sand.
4
Combining Techniques. Some people combine all of these approaches, adding small patches of flock to the top of the sand. Some of the sand is left to represent bare earth between the vegetation.
