How do you base your Grey Knights?

I'm looking at basing my current kill team. I did try agrellan earth with washes on top, but that didn't really have the desired effect. It's a bit too light and looks very flat for a taller miniature (I have found the technique works well for darkly armoured IG).

What would you suggest for basing? I have some astrogranite that I'd like to use, but I don't want a sort of tarmac/dark grey black effect as I have a friend who bases his models like that. Looking for something that will go with the standard GK paint scheme.

I bought necromunda bases and just used them. Super easy and looks very nice, I'm very happy with it.

For all of my armies I spread on a variety of different sizes of grit before I primer the minis. The after I paint em, dry brush a dark blue-grey to a light grey and add red statigrass after dullcoat.

I use resin bases from profane creations. I don't do the rainbow scheme like the seller. There are 32mm, 40mm, and oval bases.

I’ve just started my GK and bases them using shattered dominion AOS bases. Sprayed black then drybrushed with stegadon scale green, sotek green and then really light tyrant skull. It stands out enough but isn’t too obvious

It depends on what kind of environment I want to be emulating which in turn is generally extensions of the terrain/game matt I play on.

Fair enough. What do you do at the moment?

Lol haven't based GK in a while but I used beach sand and deamon skulls or human skulls. As best I could find which wasn't easy at the time
