Lovely figures - I like the muddy boots and pants. I never have the nerve to muddy up my figures that much.

Thanks, I just use a very watered down version of the base colour, it is slightly overdone on the black Marine, then a very light cream dry brush over everything.

Your method seems to work quite well.

I like the color palette you have chosen. It works very well with the base (ground) color. Very realistic and lovely result.
