Hey ho! There are so many ways to weather a model, but not all will stand up to the rigours of being used to actually play a game, constantly manhandled and battered around on a tabletop and in transport boxes. Let me show you a few quick and simple methods to weather your table vehicles that is more visually interesting than just dry-brushing a bit of Steel Legion Drab. This can be used on not just Warhammer miniatures, but pretty much anything!
