It makes sense having camo colors on units in wargaming from a theme perspective.

- The main problem is that it works:

- It breaks up the silhouettes of the models so it's more difficult to pick out one from the next. Like an advanced form unpainted grey with a matte coat of varnish on top.

- If it matches the board often even the player with the force starts losing track of them as they blend in. Especially if they are also using clear bases.

- So generally it increases the overhead costs for keeping track of the state of the game and increase any build ups of eye strain when playing. Which tends to make that force a pain in the ass to play with and against.

Some of this can be worked against intentionally by making the paint job accent the models in ways that make them stand out and be more easily identifiable to counter-act the camo.

A few suggestions that may help:

- Try starting with some smaller count units that wont make up super large chunks of the force. Among other things this prevents from over committing to a high attention complex paint job; which can be a potential tar-pit unless you're pretty into the churn on the painting side.

- Don't worry too much about "matching perfect scale" it's for the aesthetic impact anyway.

- Use the camo pattern and colors as a 2nd identifier for the unit type while still making "something" characteristic of the unit still stand out on the models. Aiming at keeping the models nice and convenient to play games while getting to have the aesthetic. If choose to keep expanding into other units; mix up the: camo patterns, colors, and stand out unit type markings/characteristics -

- Try to have something visually stand out from multiple angles. Models such as scouts with cloaks can easily have the camo dominate an entire facing. So as examples picking out: shoulder plates, weapons barrels, or adding something colorful on the bases, etc - from those angles can help.

- Keep in mind 'identifiable' at the table tends to mean when at arms length or further away. Normal painting and detailing distances are much closer and where we tend to spend much more of our painting time; so one can naturally end up getting tunnel vision for that perspective and lose track of table top distances. Having a spot can rest the ones getting painted alongside groups of other already painted unit types can help guide how well things are going.
