Since I started painting I noticed a few things, which the color choice does not govern:
What about the armour (shoulder pads, etc.)?
What about the numbers? What color should the be, where should they be placed?
But most importantly: How should we do the base???
Here are my suggestions, open to discussion:
Armour: Pick what ever you think suits your model the best.
Number: The number should be on the bases, the color should have a high contrast to the base color.
Base color: I would suggest to pick some kind of a swamp/jungle theme. For the base color I propose either Camo green or snakebite leather.
Let's have a discussion about that 
by the way, I found some good examples for orange/yellow/black lizards...they are called fire lizards in Germany...that also were I got the pictures from: www.feuersalamander.com

Just to be pedantic, they're salamanders, so they're amphibians, not lizards.  |

Tojurub.. thought I'd better remind you of this post by crazy goblin girl in the last thread...
""The cheerleader I'm doing is going to be a conversion with bits from my bitz box so I don't need a mini for "her".
Sadly I don't think I've got any spare whole lizards around (many heads from the plastic set though), though I'll have a double check.
I was going to convert the Kroxigor any how so if need be I can work from any bits folks have lying around... scales can be green stuffed on so I can work from just a torso, legs, arms (all big sized but it doesn't really matter what they are from - rat ogre/kroxigor... something big) and a head would be nice, just need the basis of chunky, sharp teeth. He'll look like he's from some funky spawning but I'll make him fit. So I'll work from that or a whole mini... whatever is needed. ""
She was basically asking for bits to make the Kroxi... without help she can't do one.
Thought I'd better give you a heads up as she's asleep right now.. (being pregnant again is tiring her out)
So just to recap.. she needs something she can base the kroxi on... a rat ogre would be possible... or a actual kroxigor.. Warhammer or BB doesn't matter which.
There is a possible last resort, but she'd like to know if someone out there could help out first, as it may or maynot work.
let us know.
Oh and on a side note I'm starting 00 this week.. heh. |

I was planning to do a jungle/swap kind of base for the figure, so count me in on that one.
Concerning the amour then I would suggest something like purple since it goes very well together with the coise of colour. |

oh my....I misunderstood that somehow. I think if I'll ask OMM to order a Kroxigor he's going to hate me  I'll find something for her. I hope she can start working on the cheerleader until I got a solution.
SORRY!!!! 
@all:
Ok....any comments on the base problem? |

I, for one, am a compleet newbie to basing beyond a lick of paint. I'll give anything a go though
As for the colour I think the green option would look best. |

No mini here yet, but I haven't seen Draco which might explain things I'll get it, I'm sure. As for which green... No idea  I just think that in general brown will make it easier to screw up the base. Green would be more forgiving. I think a dark tone of green would give the best swamp/jungle look. We should be careful it doesn't clash with grass/swamp-grass/jungle-trees though. |

Concerning the base, then try to have a look here at this page:
http://www.jenova.dk/
I was thinking to make some swamp/sand base, with a mixture of green and brown and some texture.
I think it would be better to leave the question about the base for everybody to do as they please as long as its kind of swamp like. |

| I agree with the top side of the base....I was more concerned about the ring part around the base.....it would be good if we all use a similar (or maybe the same color) |

The current White Dwarf (Issue 307) has a nice simple way of doing a water effect in the back (p140 for anyone who's looking) ... sand or gravel would work fine as ozzing water is always good (going through a Nurgle phaze in my basing atm) plus with a couple bits of static grass or flock added it would look fine as swampy.
As for the base edging I'd personally suggest Scorched Brown or a 50/50 mix of Scorched Brown/Dark Angels Green. I've found that a brown ring round the base makes the models stand out more. (as in you don't look at the base first... "ooh GREEN"... then look at the model on top.)
Apologises if this sounds confusing and for any other confusing posts... there's a mini Goblin on the way and my head can be a bit muddled... everyone wins in disscussions with me atm. (& BB games - abysmal set ups due to complete lack of concentration on tactics... I blame the goblins)
I'll do up some demo bases (got loads spare) and post them here to show folks what I mean. (might take a day or two but they'll be here asap. |

| We've got loads of time. We could have one person, if she's willing , do up all the bases and send one package to each country and then distribute from there. Then the individual coaches could number them and pop their names on them. Would look very nice, but there is a minor expense involved. Thoguhts? |
