Step 1:
gouge some cracks in your base, do two straight lines across (or more, depending on how many tiles you want) as well as some weathering and cracks
Step 2:
Drybrush liberally the whole thing with scorched brown
Step 3:
stipple on a mixture of vermin brown and scorched brown (stippling is like drybrushing except dab down with the brush instead of strokes)
Step 4:
stipple again, except with vermin brown, then /bleached bone-vermin brown/
Step 5:
VERY LIGHTLY drybrush with bleached bone to bring out the details, and paint a thinned down line of black in the cracks
Step 6:
find some suitable iconography
Step 7:
carefully paint out the general shape with shadow grey
Step 8:
fill it in with bleached bone and put some flock on the base if you want
Finito!
