New Riekrusse, WIP Apoc terrain

[scionsofcadaith]

Hi all
I wanted to share my latest terrain project and would welcome feedback and comments.
A couple of things. The table is a 120 * 180 modular city that is meant to be paired with an equally sized jungle outpost table for an upcoming Apoc game. So far its assembled and primed. Now I'm faced with a hard decision...
Do I paint it as a burnt out shell of a city or a recently ruined (with colors of the buildings more or less intact)?
I opted for wide streets as my opponent and I have 6 Super heavies between us which will be slugging it out in a 20,000 point game.

Anyway, I'd really just like to pick up any critique, hints and comments you guys can throw my way.




















Cheers

From what I can see it looks pretty awesome. Makes me wish I had the time or resources to build a cool table.

Recently we have started priming followed by a colored spray paint for base coating, "the wall in the apoc thread" for example. This has applied to some of the building kits for city fight as well. It the "WALL" had not been sold last week it was going to get a wash of thinned down raw umber oil paint over its overall concrete beige color to bring out details in conjunction with a lightened leach bone quick dry brush. Those panels have a lot of detail and you can make them look awesome if you are willing to spend the time. With a project the size of a table you are going for photogenic and at the same time not overpowering the miniatures put on it. Then there is the time issue. Some quick color and a wash +dry brush is a expedient that does work well.

Thanks for the comments guys!

@ jeep: thanks the colors you mention might just do the trick...a wash follow by a drybrush..I'll try it.
