[Mr Evil]

ok i have desert and urban terrian so far most my figs are done in the urban style, i was originaly gonna do these in desert colours but it didnt happen that way, im also trying to think what ould look ok on any other games table.

here are the pics of my 2 samples

the urban looks good, but the desert sand looks like mud that the trooper is sinking into...

I'm about to start experimenting with a generic "fits anything" basing pattern.

A few small patches of grey gravel, a few patches of sand, and a few patchy sections of grass, plus a rock or two.

That way it could be a small tuft of grass poking out from rocks in the desert, an overgrown broken area in an urban setting, or an area where the grass has worn thin if the model is in grassland.

If you took your urban base. gave it a couple of patches of sand from the desert base, and added a couple of tiny patches of green flock or static grass, I reckon you'd get something that will look good anywhere. You could try it out on an empty base to see how it looks on various tables.

I love the urban ones, the desert ones are a little boring.
Matt whats going on with the CAPITALS?

I had been thinking desert, but it does look like he is about to lose a boot in some mud. And the urban does have that whole "Stalingrad" feel to it.

As for Matt, I don't think that he has ever not used CAPITALS. You never noticed that Rob? :?

Urban looks neater, with the black rim. It's also looks suitable generic outdoor.

Both would looks better if you added a tiny dab of flock here and there to each model.

I like the desert ones myself...

 

[cOwgummi]

well desert looks cool, especially as mud is very soviet
but i think the urban ones create a better look together with the colors of the models.

 

[Mr Evil]

[roughneck GIR]

I've got more of an aim to urban as I like urban combat over desert to really give an opinion

 

[Col_stone]

I say urban with a few *small* patches of autumn grass, that'll look good on any table,,, ok mars excluded
