The steps below show you how to produce a dead, blasted plain. Keep in mind that between the drybrushing stages, it is helpful to just keep the colour you currently have on your brush and dip into the next colour. This helps blend the two colours of paint in a natural fashion while you drybrush. However, you don't want to do so if the two colours are radically different. If you have no clue how to make this texture, visit the basics section and learn how!

To start things off, drybrush Scorched Brown heavily over the entire area. This coat will give the piece an earthy undertone.

Next, heavily drybrush Codex Grey over the area. Heavy means to have a decent amount of paint on your brush.
Moving on, use Fortress Grey next. You will begin to see some results at this point as you drybrush. Again, use a heavy hand at this stage.
To finish up, use Ghostly Grey to drybrush the surface evenly. If you wish, a little Skull White can be mixed in with the Ghostly Grey used to enhance the effect. At this point you can consider yourself finished!
As an interesting option, use some sort of static grass. There are tons of different colours out there, just find one you like and use it. Applying static grass is a simple matter of spreading some glue in the desired area and then sprinkling static grass on the spot. When placed in strategic patches here and there, the end result makes for realistic terrain.

Options: You could add some clumps of rocks using a coarser grain of sand before painting to break up the flat, even surface.
