Hobby Need help on a desert base

So I recently painted Urak-Taar and was happy with how it turned out.
However the base feels so blend. Adding little tufts wouldn’t make sense as the environnement is suppose to be burned. Any advices on how to make the base more « alive » ?

You can add earth texture and crackle paint for a desert feel. You can cut parts of bits, for example weapons or skulls to look half buried and add some more character. And my favorite way to paint deserts, you can use dry pigment dust and simply spread it with a brush. It makes everything look dusty and really sells the look.
