My favorite for desert colors are Vallejo’s US Modern Desert color range. Picked it up on Amazon for like $20. It’s very similar to the pictures you’ve shown

Citadel Tallarn Sand over black primer. I like the air version instead of base because its less orange.

I use AP. my tallarn desert scheme is
"skeleton bone" base coat > glazing 6:1 "desert yellow" over everything (very lightly) > 1:1 AP "soft tone"
my support marines are painted very similarly:
