I use iron oxide ballast with a bit of buff ballast mixed in. So, rusty red, with some tan/buff in it.

I found some new static grass at Historicon in shades of red. I am going to add some to my bases.

I didn't think they had earth on Mars. I thought they has mars.  ;D
Below is a link to my blog. It's the place where I write uninteresting things about little toy soldiers. I do this because I refuse to grow up and behave like an adult.

I'm using the same method as the hounourable jimbibbly (50/50 mix of Windsor and Newton sepia ink and water then drybrushed up through Foundrys Ochre triad). 

I painted the triad colours on to white card and took them to my local DIY store where they used some 'colourmatchingomatic' technology and produced some matching household emulsion paint so I can do larger areas and baseboards.

Never thought of that  ::)
