I would suggest a futuristic city enviorment. It would seem fitting to the futuristic look of the soldiers.

I had the same thought, this is going to be very difficult to do because I have never made an enviroment before

try a few more example layouts or sketch some basic ideas down and see which one grabs you the most. I like the basic futuristic greys and blues you've used.

Hey eldwick - definitely a futuristic environment is the way to go. Don't worry too much about your drawing ability - after all it's just about getting it straight in our head.

I agree with T1ck - the blues and greys will work well with your models.

Good work mate!
