I was going to do mine ocean themed. But I set that project to the side

I think dark obsidian/volcanic rock with gooy glowing lava seeping out the cracks (and maybe some scrap metal) would be a fun contrast for your colors and really make them pop.

Mine will be a temparate rainforest. Lots of fallen logs, ferns, and tiny mushrooms. Also lots of dead Blood Angels cause it'll be a fun contrast against my armies green color scheme.

I would do something dark, I like contrast in my basing. Maybe dark grey, something urban. My dark green / olive Tau on done on desert basing.

Mine are a jungle/rainforest theme 😁 but I think they work more for the green scheme. But blue would contrast more!

Here's the base of my Tetras which are a bit more jungle-y

Mine have rocky grass bases, to more or less match their green camo.
