I may be in the minority here but:

I glue the 15mm figures to wooden craft sticks/popsicle sticks, 5-6 per stick trying to keep similar poses together. I use regular white glue.

I then spray prime then paint them on the sticks, assembly line fashion. I also spray a protective clar coat on. Once painted I use a hobby knife to pop them off and then figure out the basing. Glue them to the appropriate base and use a spackle type substance to terrain the bases. I have a couple small painting spatulas that make getting the spackle around where I need it pretty easy. I usually add some cheap brown craft paint to the spackle first to get it a base color.

Once the spackle is dry I wash the base, then dry brush and add grass/flock as needed. Once all done the completed bases with figures get a protective dull coat.

I don't have any of my WW2 photographed and it is packed up right now for an upcoming move. However, my gallery has some 15mm moderns and Sci Fi:

I mention in one of my posts above that I add paint to the spackle too.
