Earth brown base rim, a mix of sand and grit and dust on the base, the odd tuft of brown or dark green spikey static grass.

Should allow your guys to stand out nicely.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/602071/6965884.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/602071/6965884.page GMT
Personally, I base my Cadians with sand. Then, I paint the entirety of the bases Mournfang Brown, shade the sand with Agrax Earthshade, drybrush the sand with Ushabti Bone, and then add bits of static grass. Pretty easy and it makes your models look even better.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/602071/6966969.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/602071/6966969.page GMT gw buildings so most everything i do is an urban base heavy on concrete and dirt. My cadians are grey and black because they are cammo-ed up. Thats the complete opposite of pop, but lends realism. If you want the bases to pop, stay away from the color families you're using for your unit's scheme. Sand has been mentioned, maybe a green forest theme, or snow. It really depends on where you envision them being deployed. Remember painting rule number one: nothing is wrong if YOU like it.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/602071/6967626.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/602071/6967626.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/602071/6968709.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/602071/6968709.page GMT
