I too am using different flower colors for different types of soldiers; in my case, purple for the hussars, and yellow for sailors.  I'll probably continue doing that as new soldier types come out. 

For your part, you may be creating a problem where none exists.  As long as different flower colors are interspersed, I think the effect will look uniform and good.  You might not want to use all six flower colors, but as long as you don't go overboard...

On the other hand, there's nothing as attractive as a uniform army.  If you have one group with one color flower on the left, another with a second color flower in the center, and a final group with a third color flower on the right, that might end up looking almost the same as three different color uniforms.  That might look good though, and if it doesn't, you can just intersperse them again.

Obviously, I vaccilate...   :)

By the way, you're doing a great job with those Siflor flowers.  I always have trouble with them, and consider them the worst part of basing.

So many cool packs to make, so little Paul to go around.    :)


Have you considered cloning?

Paul turned down that request, claiming it wqould lower demand and, consequently, what he could charge.    :(

Your statement implies that you've already used the yellow flowers...does that mean you have some sailors in your possession?!!!

I have some sailor masters in my possession, and I'll actually start selling them once I get production castings.  This is taking a long time due to the interminable heat wave here in the US.  My caster tells me that not only is casting uncomfortable, but it might even cause quality issues.    :(

Good news! I really like sailors and have been anticipating yours. I have a nice little Copplestone brigade, and I'm working on an Imperial Navy landing party for 40K. Looking forward to some gals for Viktoria Louise's fledgling navy!

However, I'm sad- that means I'll not be able to say I have all my Hinterland figures painted for very long :)

So you have pictures of these sailor masters, yes?

Sigh.  This means my High Atlanteans need an Aeronef now.
