Woodland base leaves? Opinions needed please

Autumnal Leaves

Can I get peoples opinion on the leaves on these bases please, would appreciate further decision making help!

The Autumnal leaves I was waiting for arrived today and they aren't quite what I was expecting. With the risk of sounding stupid, they are a bit too orange! Like Sunny D orange rather than the colours of leaves in Autumn. They look ok but I think I preferred the natural leaves, although they aren't quite what I was looking for either.

I then tried a mix and think this looks better maybe, but would appreciate others thoughts? I am swinging towards the mixed as the different colours add that bit of realism to a forest floor but not sure if the orangey leaves look a bit weird and maybe just going with the natural coloured ones might be the best option?

Finishing off the flamers is proving a little bit difficult for my amateur sculpt skills, but I'm hopeful should be able to post the three completed soon.

  1. Hmm. Agree that the Autumnal ones look a bit too orangey, mixed look better but I think the natural ones look the best, the colours look more subtle.

  2. I personally like the mixed look. the leaves have a good contrast to each other as well as giving some contrast to the figure.

  3. I like the look of the mixed. In the pictures at least, the orange is not overwhelming. If it too overpowering in real life then go with the natural ones.
