Basing ideas for Dark Vengeance

[Doom Herald]

I wanted to get some ideas for what people thought would look good on the bases for the DV Crimson Slaughter models. I have a box set I left unassembled for when I got the color schemes I wanted, equipment, and better skill. I do plan on trying to work parts of Spirit Hosts in with the models to represent the poltergheists, but otherwise the models will be just as they come. I will be doing a darker red than normal, the color of their red on the box art, and a more vibrant gold instead of the usual way their armor is done. I want to try to do these as best I can which means a good looking base as well which I haven't given much thought too and I'm having a bit of a block.

an ashy grey base would look good with dark red minis

I'd recommend something that doesn't overpower the model. Like for example, my World Eaters (who the Crimson Slaughter essentially ripped off their colour-scheme wholesale -grumble, grumble-) are on grey, stoney bases, example from Khârn here:

 

Basically, more neutral colours work. I'd avoid things like browns because they are visually similar enough to red that the model could be "lost" on the base.
