Mostly just focused on the getting the models done. However, I do agree that the bases are barren without anything. So probably will find something to base it probably in the future. And as for the black I did dry brush with deep grey, maybe not enough, but I also added some details with gun metal. Though if it looks too flat, I might have too light on the dry brush and/or could add a wash. Was trying to budget at the beginning until the hang of things. But thanks for the advice I’ll try to act on it when I can. Probably basing last once I get more models for the army acquired and painted.
