HTP: Stone Bases

For my Imperial Fist bases I wanted them to have a classic stone look while using the my airbrush and drybrushing to create the illusion of a shadow on the base.

Bases Used:
Ruined Temple, https://goo.gl/zTzCZG 
Urban Streets, https://goo.gl/y4tNkv

Start off with priming the bases black.  Then airbrush the entire base with Minitaire D6-110 Charred Stone

Follow this up with D6-108 Rock in a circle on the outside of the base. this will leave a shadow where the model is.

Wash the entire base with Nuln Oil to bring out the detail, and shade the rock.

Dry brush with Model Color  70.989 Sky Grey. For this step I used a large flat square brush and mostly dry brushed with the sides of the brush. I either avoided, or lightly dry-brushed the middle of the base to preserve the shadow.

Paint the lines with a solid coat of Model Color 70.986 Deck Tan. I didn't dillute this at all so I would have an even coat.

Finishing off the stone I applied a very liberal amount of Agrax Earthshade to the tan. When applying I attempted to make the wash pool in the middle of the base more than on the edges to help preserve the shadow. Paint the edges black and you're done.
