http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/8.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Anyways, painted up a couple fire warriors till I found how I want to do my army. Going with light tan color armour, with a nice brighter blue for the "soft" parts and armour accents. My idea is this Tau Sept is from an ocean world, that reassembles the Caribbean.
Now my basing question, I originally thought of light color sand, like a beach, with some bases even having bits of ocean coming into them.
Now, that would go with their "camouflage". But, would it blend in to much...or should I base them some other style,(the Sept got called to help another on another world, or something) with a bit different colors, to make the models "pop" a bit more.

Now I am no painting expert by any means. Just wanting to make my models look as good as I can get them.

Thanks for any input!

I'll try to post a picture of what I'm going with here in a minute...maybe that will help a bit.

Now, this bases is just spray primered with army painter color that I am using to primer them with. And my phone takes horrible pics...and horrible lighting. But you get the idea.

Isn't the idea of camouflage that you blend in? Having the base the same colour makes that work.
Maybe put a couple of contrasting items on the model, like a kneepad and a shoulderpad, or something.

And these rough rider conversions show a balasa wood base converted to a stone/rock base before painting.

In any case, looking good, keep some updates coming if you don't mind!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/712639/9106001.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/712639/9106001.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/712639/9106028.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/712639/9106028.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/712639/9106399.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/712639/9106399.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/712639/9107155.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/712639/9107155.page GMT
