Sand dune effect bases

Anyone based a team with sand dunes at all?
Am looking at doing a team differently for a change, and having more trouble finding tips for it that usual!

Cheers

No, but if I was going to do this, I'd first carve and sand the rolling surface of the dune with foam then paint it a sandy colour before liberally applying sand weathering powder. I think weathering powder is your best bet to get some in-scale sand texture.

I cheated and used resin bases that where designed as generic desert bases. Some had sand dunes, some cracked earth.

Quick example of a couple of them.

They look nice, unfortunately have already stuck to plain bases! are lipped ones (like the necro I bought off you) so at least have some depth to mess around with!

Normally used to weather tanks and whatnot.

I can't find the tutorial for it, but since even fine grain sand is still big for miniatures, I remember someone using snowflock mixed with PVA glue to get a nice dune/drift look.
