. I prefer to paint all my bases the same color to give them some uniformaty
I made some painting tests on used bases. I first cleaned them with alcohol, then sprayed some green gloss paint (2 coats).

The two bases on the pic were red and yellow before. The green paint has a smooth glossy finish, and cover the base very well. Easy and IMHO beautiful. It works great with my current painted figures and my field cover.

The point of these is to make a complete team (bases +figs) with the best visual result I can achieve. Other advantage, I'll be able to use any brand of bases and keep a good uniform overall aspect.

For now, I'm using miggle bases (red, yellow, dark green, basic green), buzzball bases (white lightning and DDB) and I'm currently in touch with Bill (for tornado alley TTC bases) and Miggle (for proline rookie bases)


Finally, I 'll be able to try and use all the bases range in the hobby, and keep a good looking team on field.
