More on painting

Hey list lurkers,

I've just picked up a bunch of OU and some GW Future Warriors (some more
negotiations may yield more yet! and I hear that Australia is expecting
Stratelibri stock this month!). I've got some UNSCM and Mercs on order, and
I'm thinking the IDF look good now.

What I was wondering, and this might be something worthy of putting on paper
and putting on Jed Sadler's SG2 page:

1. Are there official colours and camflage schemes for the various
nationalities (OU, IDF, NSL, NAC, etc.)? (both vehicular and uniform) Is there
a FAQ or colour plates or swatches somewhere?

2. Has anyone actually thought about producing a book (maybe somewhere in the
future) that features equipment descriptions (a textual description, some
'tech specs', DS2 and SG2 stats) of the common equipment used by these forces
and descriptions of their force
organizations/ranks structure/uniform and equipment distributions?
With colour plates (like the various Osprey Men-at-arms type books)
of some sample uniforms etc.? This would make a great SG2 and DS2 supplement
(like the fleet book, only this would be the Space, Air, Ground, and
Aquamarine (SAGA?) forces supplement?). It could feature army lists. I know
several gamers have done some good groundwork (I give the nod to Owen G here)
for some of the forces of some groups. But it would be neat to have a master
document of this info. I think if it was (like Bugs Don't Surf) targetted at
both SG2 and DS2 players, it would sell well.

Jon, Mike, anyone? Opinions? Information on 'official' (yes, we all hate that
word) colour schema?

Tom
