Things you will need:
- CA glue (Super Glue/Crazy Glue)
- PVA Glue
- Sand
- Small Stones
- Water
- Paints
- Brushes for paint
You can also prep your bases by lightly sanding the top of them or just scratching them with a knife, this is called keying and helps the glues stick to the plastic bases.
How I got the sand and stones I use: https://www.instructables.com/Cleaning-and-Drying...
