OK, for my IG, I'm planning on using a "field green" for the coats- an equal mix of Chaos Black, Codex Grey and Dark Angels green. The planned base colour was going to be Scorched Brown, with a SB/Bestial Brown drybrush, but as NetEpic pointed out, the camo and the bases don't go together very well. Any thoughts on a more appropriate basing scheme? I'll be posting pics of the inf once I've got a stand at the point where painting the base becomes a problem
Second question, directed at Tuffskull in particular - in the speed painted IG army, were the tanks glued on the Warmaster bases prior to sanding and painting the bases, or were they added afterwards? I couldn;t make it out from the thread (I was bored at Uni, and read the whole thread
)Thanks
?I thought it was an equal mix of surface areas! Right then, the camo should work by hiding the troops, but you don't want too much of that for the models as they cannot be indistinguishable from the base colours. Hmm. Very dark grey or charcoal black base with strong, light colour ?highlighting to bring out texture on the base, depicting an ash waste, or a dark-sky planet, perhaps? Or, if you can get your hands on dark green flock or dark green shrubbery (to scale of course!) try a snowy base (see Stormseer's IG thread elsewhere) with some patches of vegetation.
