Howdy,

I'm in the process of preparing some figures for gaming Stargate, probably using Dogs of War rules (Unless someone can offer a much better solution!)

I was wondering the best vallejo paint colour to use for the uniforms:

Obviously black!! But what would you say is the most appropriate colour for the green?

Thanks! :)

I would do russian green highlighted by WWII Russian uniform green.

I used GW Catachan Green which looks darker than your pictures.

I tried a dark green, but it didn't provide the 'right' look for me. WW2 Russian Uniform was too much of a light olive colour, but then again, I didn't try it with a Russian Green undercoat!!!

Howdy.

How about giving us some idea of the topic in your heading if you actually want some help?

Rules available are Chain Reaction 3.0 from THW. Savage World's Showdown's also has a nice variant. Then Forge of War by Craig Cartnell has a good Stargate variant.

John,

Very constructive post.

It was your figures that inspired me, so thanks for that!

Pictors and Mark:

I tried the suggestion, and it worked wonderfully! Will hopefully have some pictures up when I get back from SELWG!

I'd tweak stargrunt 2 myself.
Free download off ground zero games website.

I forgot to mention the Stargate Yahoo group.

Some Chain Reaction AAR's there, IIRC. A mini campaign. Some nice stuff in the FILES.

Thanks,

John
