I've done this.

It's more to your disadvantage, because you start losing models in the trees and bushes, and a 10 man squad goes to a 8 after leaving some terrain.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/418669/3710765.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/418669/3710765.page GMT Painting Camo for Advantage

This.
If you lose track they did a good job at painting the Camo and even then like others said they lose that minor advantage on other tables.

That being said, actual camo not base coat then tones of flock.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/418669/3710900.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/418669/3710900.page GMT Painting Camo for Advantage

Opponent might simply forget they are there. You can experiment this by yourself by putting units in cover so that enemy can't see them. As the game moves on the opponen simply forgets that you have placed units placed in cover.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/418669/3711872.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/418669/3711872.page GMT Painting Camo for Advantage

A buddy and I played an all night, 5000 point game (prior to apoc). He placed a unit of grey primed sniper scouts in a grey building during deployment.

Yeah but that only works when said unit doesn't get the least bit annoying. So you're not getting any mileage from it either.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/418669/3713049.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/418669/3713049.page GMT Painting Camo for Advantage

Feth it Kilkrazy, I almost died.


On topic - I sorta and at the same time don't see it the point of the issue, really not going to make much of a difference. At home it would just be awesome to play against, at tournies, its never going to work, plus those at the top of the list are so damned focused the whole time, it probably wouldn't phase them even if you got to take your matching table.

I agree with a couple here on the 'owning' it though, I miss units during my turn on occasion now when playing, if I couldn't see them very well, I'd be losing every game due to loss of firepower. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/418669/3714426.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/418669/3714426.page GMT Painting Camo for Advantage
When deciding targets for a unit with LOS - it's the best way to spot anything worthwhile.

If not LOS and you lose track of enemy units - you just aren't paying enough attention, and if they sting you once, shame on you if they sting you twice...well 'nuff said]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/418669/3714434.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/418669/3714434.page GMT Re:Painting Camo for Advantage
Unable to even gaze upon my army none of my opponents were able to beat it, eventually I got bored of being perfect and went back to using barely painted armies like everyone else.

Hmm, maybe I CAN get some use out of the fluorescent paints that I got when I ordered the Vallejo air colors line.
