Now, you should already know this - do people not wear black clothes in an
effort to make themselves slimmer? I was told this and did not really
believe it. Until, I painted a Commissar Leman Russ all black, and it
really does look a lot smaller than any other Russ.

I do like the idea of painting a lot of dark coloured infantry in 40k so my
opponent cannot judge the distance properly and never charges!
