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.
