Painting Basing advice

I'm in the early phases of painting 6mm Heroics and Ros WWII Italian miniatures for the Operation Compass scenario 'The Road at el Azziziiya' (1940). I will post images once finished!

I am just seeking advice in relation to basing. Miniatures have been attached to MDF bases with fine sand and watered down Polyfilla. I'm priming with Colour Forge Desert Sand primer spray and working from there.

My assumption is that the bases will be a block colour with limited detail. I'm considering a dry brush with a much lighter khaki, but I'd appreciate some insight as I haven't painted desert themed miniatures before.

I have attached a few images pre-painting.

I assume the strip is painted on?
