Hey just a question that i did not see in any posts: Do the models need to be based?/ if so will it count to our painting score?
I would presume "Yes" as well.  To spend all the time to paint a model nicely, only to have a few marks of various different colors (which ironically all match your model) randomly splashed on the base would defeat the purpose of spending so much effort painting them in the first place.  The modeling sand I use goes a pretty long way though, and I'm pretty sure you can base an entire IG regiment with only one container of it.

I actually filled up a Poland spring plastic water bottle with sand at the beach once a couple years ago -- I've still got most of the bottle left.

Basing is part of painting. I'm replying to you King, but also pointing at the trooper.

Yes all models must be based. If you want tips or tricks just talk to some of us who have been doing it for a while. My perfered way is applying sand, inking it and let the ink fully dry, and painting over it and then adding little details like static grass.
