For basing, I'm thinking of doing some sort of burnt out city. Demolished urban setting. I think it would be pretty sweet to make cool themed terrain for them to walk over.
The biggest challenge I have is how to do weathered and battle damaged tanks. I've never worked with weathering powders and my tanks always look pristine. It's intimidating. I could use any recommendations on books, or tutorials that are out there. I want to spend the extra time to make the product really pop.
My first list is going to be modeled after the Krieg Assault Brigade. It'll get me the chance to paint up a bunch of infantry and some small artillery pieces like mortars and thud guns. Also a mix of a few tanks. I'll tackle a cavalry and heavy artillery list in the 2nd wave.
Any thoughts or help on weathering & battle damage would be great!
