A bit less static grass maybe?

Thommy H
Yes, less is more.

At least you might want to trim down the grass, using nail scissors.

Abecedar:

definitely less. it looks like caterpillars are surrounding them

Zanko:

You could also add some “stones” respectively some “rubble” imo it would fit quite well!

And like the others just mentioned remove some “grass” and trim it!

Or shave it a bit. At least trim it :p

Da Crusha:

its also spaced out too perfectly and I wouldn’t expect grass patches to grow like that.

Bolg:

If i see this correct. you havent painted the stones on the base, just glued in place.

So give them a drybrush highlight is the least you could do.

But the thing is, there is already a lot of black in the model, so black bases really dulls them down, try a few experimental colors before (or in this case after) you base your entire army.

Maybe try a gray - white highlight and paint the sides of the bases dark gray.  (or brown - orange whit brown sides). use leff grass and try a more colorfull grass.

(but this is all just my humble opinion)

ChungEssence:

I think Graveyard Earth would look a lot better than the black for the bases.

Also, dry brush any rocks etc.
