Decisions, decisions.


I’m torn about these two.  I’ve got two sections of seven lads each and I need some way of distinguishing them.  I was thinking about helmet colour, but I’ve seen them in white and didn’t care for it. 

Red maybe? Any thoughts gentlemen? 

Of course I should be doing something with my #Squaduary2019 pledge and therefore I should be working on my 1/32 scale diorama. However, we’re actually playing this game at the moment and I’d like to be able to play with a fully painted set before we finish.

  1. You could try fabulous? http://thepaintingchallenge.blogspot.com/2019/01/from-barks-slaves-to-dorkness-35-points.html

    I put a stripe on my second seven.

    I was playing on the weekend- it was very hard to distinguish between groups in a giant Stronghold melee. Some sort of removable base ring would be ugly but useful.

  2. Do they all have a club? If so perhaps a different colour club per section ... sort of medieval baton colouting type thingy.

  3. You could do all the armor and hard surfaces in a common color, and then do the non-uniform cloth in a squad color. That might be another way to go.

    If you wanted to stick with the helmet as a way to differentiate, you could do insignia.

  4. The point is to make them recognizable at tabletop distance, so I may suggest to use cold colours for a squad and a warm palette for the other one. Each squad may still be colour coherent, yet distinct from their fellows.

  5. I used to be suggested this website via my cousin. I'm not sure whether this put up is written by him as nobody else recognize such designated approximately my trouble.

    You're wonderful! Thanks!

  6. Paint one set in an urban camo - greys, black, white. The other in a night camo- blues, black, white. Both should work for lurking around a badly lit space hulk.

  7. Why not paint the bases in different colors? Green for one group and brown for the other. I put a colored stripe on the back of some of my fantasy units to be able to tell them.

  8. Distinctive colour on the back of the helmet. Enemy cannot see it. Friends can. Discourages running away!
