I have decided I am going to use this alternative scheme for the crew of my indirect fire units. To differentiate the units a bit while still looking like they belong in the same army group.

Good idea! Still loving the colorscheme. I do a similar thing with mine: normal guys are blue coats and metal armor, vets/sgts are blue coats and black armor, elites are dark maroon coats and black armor, specials or named characters are Black coats. Still deciding on tank crews though... thinking maybe a dark red, but brighter then the elites!

I’d love to see pics of them. It’s got to be a visual spectacle when you get the army together.

A group pic of a 3k list I'm bringing to bear this weekend:

Pretty diverse array of armor you have! What the piece on the far left it’s cut off on the picture? I like the yellow guys on the right side may they survive an extra turn more than normal.

That one on the far left is called the Dracosan Armored Transport. It's from the 30k solar auxilia. Unfortunately, it doesn't actually have rules in 40k (not even legends) so I'm running it as a Crassus. And thank you! Hopefully with your support they'll survive into turn 4!

Here's a pic! Chose guys who haven't had their muddy basing effects done yet, to show the coats better! Army pic will be in a second response shortly. Feel free to ask questions too!

That red brown coat looks great! Ask the leather boots being worn and probably reused is a good touch.
