have set myself a task of making some craters for exploding vehicles tomorrow.
have a few ideas on how to do it, but not what size?

was thinking of basing it off the size of the large blast template, is that to big?

or should i base it off the size of the vehicle?, and in that case do you make a bigger crater for bigger vehicles?
as i am an ork player my open top vehicles have a tendency to blow up Wink and i want to put some effort into making good explosion markers.

but i don't want to be accused of cheating by having to large a cover save marker for any remaining boyz....hmmmm Tongue

I cut mine out of cardboard with each vehicle having its' own crater, based on their footprint. Used this video to help. Worked out pretty OK.

Cheap and effective.
