Historical Camouflage During the Cold War, the British Berlin Brigade painted all their vehicles with an identical pattern to hinder the Russians from being able to count the number of vehicles. They would never be sure that they weren’t counting the same vehicle twice or if there was more than one! All the camouflage blocks were square or rectangular. The colours used were black, white, grey, brown and green.

In WW2 the British used a pattern called “Mickey Mouse” ear! Usually black over sand or black over green.

There is plenty of information on the web for camouflage patterns, so find one scheme you like and try it out

Chaos Camouflage Try painting Chaos vehicles in the same pattern but using different colours.  I tried one out with blue, pink and orange!  It made me physically sick to look at it!  Just the effect Chaos should have.

Theming Your Army As an avid Imperial Guard player and collector, I have a very large collection of models and figures.  I decided that my Guard army would all be from the same planet/planetary system and were all fighting in the same war zone. This meant that I could theme my entire collection.

I have repeated the vehicle camouflage scheme on my Storm Troopers/Grenadiers, Rough Riders and Light Infantry. The ordinary Infantry have plain uniforms painted khaki with a flesh wash topcoat and their epaulettes are painted in Games Workshop Red Gore. The Mechanised Infantry have greatcoats painted in Red Gore. This ties both units in with the weapons on the vehicles, giving the idea that they are all from the same army but are different parts of it.
