Earth Force Marines squad

[fjodin]

Just pained 1 squad of Rebel Minis Earth Force Marines for Gruntz 15mm Sci-fi with 1 commander and 1 specialist.


All four poses of Earth Force Marines.

Army commander with 2 squad attachments. One soldier armed with Light Machine Gun and 1 with Missile Launcher.


Sniper Team.

AS you can see I use different colored sides of some bases to represent different unit types. Most of figures does not have specific base side colors.
Squad Attachments have red color.
Squad leaders - blue
Army comanders - bronze
Some scpecialists have green, and some dont have specific colour. My nipers have 2.5 inch base so they can be easily spoted and identified, so I haven painted their base side. But this Soviet nurse have small 20mm base, so I painted its base side.

I love these. That blue really pops. Is this the start of an army?

[fjodin]

Yes

[stroezie]

I like your bases, they are nice and light, they really let the colours on your mini's pop

Thanx! Here is tutorial of this EF Marines bases
15mmworld.blogspot.com.au/search/label/basing
But in this very old tutorial I used GW Desert Yellow for base sides, but now I realised that its better to use GW Commando Khaki, because its same color as sand! So I repainted ALL base sides of ALL my minis.
The turf I use for this EF marines is Woodland Scenics Light Green Coarse Turf (T-62) and for the nurse, sharkmen and my terrain grass I used mix of 3 light green grass colours from Hornby.

I spend lots of time trying different grasses bu Scenic Woodland BURNT GRASS was not as green as I wanted it. But then I found this Hornby grass
