Hi guys

Just needing some help choosing a basing idea for my orks, I have a CSM army completely based with Armageddon dust and want a different theme for the boyz, I was thinking maybe going with agrellan earth or the grey one similar to Armageddon dust. Or even a forresty idea. Just wanting to find out what you guys thought.

I would go with what contrasts the most with the color scheme of your Orks.
I think a medium gray colored theme works best with the green skins if they have brigh colored clothing.
Maybe a more urban/junk theme. Gray bases with bright pavement and bits of scrap and rubble.

I use martian ironearth. Yeah, it's quick and simple, but with so many models I don't really want to spend hours upon hours basing 120+ minis for 2000 pts. Plus, martian ironearth is a nice red shade that goes well against green. Like korbenn said, depending on what clan you're going with will decide a lot.

Yeah I think I will do that I'll ask around and maybe try base a boy with both and see which I like more
