Scenery

There are basically two kinds of scenery: the ones you buy and the ones you make yourself from any old materials. I have both and I'll share my experiences with you on these things.

Why Scenery? Let's answer this question first: why would you want to use scenery? First off, because it looks cool. And second, because it can make a game far more challenging. You can only shoot at and attack what you see, right? So, if you add a couple of houses, hills, towers, trees, etc. to a battlefield, it's more difficult to move around and you'll have to make new plans instead of just rushing forward. Why a battle mat? Also two reasons: because it looks cool (again) and better yet, because it protects the table/floor you're playing on. When you're moving your units around, you might scratch the table, with a battlefield underneath you don't.

My battlefield complete with scenery, including a small village in the top left corner.

Painting Scenery When painting scenery, you'd best use regular paint, or, for walls, paint with a little sand mixed into it (for texture). The Games Workshop paint is made for miniatures, not large battlefields. Keep that in mind.
