All the bases used for the above Dark Angels models are from https://www.ebay.co.uk/str/tinyworldswargaming:

Supplied as bare resin, these were sprayed black, and then weathered using increasing ratios of Vallejo 'Cold Grey' to black in subsequent dry-brush coats. Xpress Colour 'Wasteland Brown' was used for the earth, and then sepia ink was applied here and there to darken things down.
