Nice, may l suggest a little light brown drybrushing on the base and the addition of some grass tufts? A Matt varnish would get rid of the shine. |

@nugrim: Actually, there is grass in Tunisia, including in some of the more arid areas: "he perennial herb Stipagrostis pungens subsp. (Desf.) De Winter (three-awn grass; Figure 6B), commonly known by its Arabic name "Sbat", is a grass that grows between 50 cm and 100 cm in height. It belongs to the Poaceae family and is a tall perennial with deep roots, long leaves, and erect stems. Because of its adventitious root system, S. pungens can survive in areas with as little as 70 mm of rainfall/y (Bendali et al 1990). This plant is also good for dune fixation in desert; therefore, S. pungens plays an important role to prevent the progression of desertification and to introduce vegetation in arid areas." Tufts could also represent some of the scrubby, semi-shrub vegetation as well. |

The terrain varies quite a bit in Tunisia, but nugrim might be right to base the soldiers on dirt; there appear to be dirt patches everywhere, even in the greener parts of the country. It depends how the rest of the terrain around them looks.

Brown bases are the most versatile, useable for desert, green and urban landscapes |
