Originally I made a platoon and russ with the artic theme and then jumped to desert when I made some penal legion units (back when they were a thing), painting some extra things similarly thereafter (mostly because I found a nice coloured spary at the time).

(Not the best photos sorry, if you'd like better/particular photos just say)

Though they are few in number currently, I have more vehicles on the way so I want to decide before painting them. My main focus is on a good, connected and themed attire for all, and I would like to be able to put markers on shoulderpads or similar to mark out units, sergeants, special weapons etc. as I have a large number of footsloggers waiting for painting now.

My question to you is what do you think is the better of these two themes, or what should I try or change to make one of them better?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/672089/8293427.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/672089/8293427.page GMT AM Camo scheme: Desert or Artic? Plus, if you don't feel like repainting everything at once, you can simply snow flock and weather / ice the other vehicles and bases until you feel up to it.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/672089/8293621.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/672089/8293621.page GMT AM Camo scheme: Desert or Artic?
Of your two schemes (both of which are fine) I think the arctic was executed a bit better and is more distinctive.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/672089/8293646.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/672089/8293646.page GMT AM Camo scheme: Desert or Artic? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/672089/8293658.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/672089/8293658.page GMT AM Camo scheme: Desert or Artic?
I was actually thinking about the adding of snow to the bases and then I wondered if I should do the bases different to the light grey currently on the Artic ones? Possibly the brown of the other bases and add snow like Buttery suggested?

Also, any thoughts on ideal markings on shoulderpads? On the artic ones I already have tried white numbers but they don't really stand out.

And lastly, should I add camo marks/stripes to the vechicles?

Thanks again!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/672089/8293692.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/672089/8293692.page GMT AM Camo scheme: Desert or Artic? Many people rim the edges in black or what used to be Graveyard Earth. If nothing else, in mass battles it helps to visually distinguish where one base ends and another starts.
For flocking/snow/basing, consider applying grass, Earth, rocks, etc and then having the snow over it with parts uncovered or poking through.

This is a very light/melty application of that idea, but you can see how the different basing colours can be mixed (click to zoom):

I quickly threw some stuff together rather crudely in Photoshop to get a general idea of basing choices and also the vehicle camo
