The Adeptus Mechanicus were really into WWI documentaries when they designed it.

I like the attention to detail like some visible use on those tank tracks

Thanks. I try to do the best I can. There are other painters out there that get real crazy with it, like making the hull look scratched and damaged, or making it look like mud is caked on the tracks. That kind of stuff is way beyond my ability though.
And here is one of my command squads:

U.S. (Association) Football "pyramid"
- There is no official 4th division designation by U.S. soccer federation (there is for divisions 1, 2, and 3). But this waydkgers
- The soccer landscape in the U.S. is a bit of a wild west. The sport is relatively new there, so an interesting assortment of gentlemen's agreements has arisen over the years. The structures differ from those of leagues in Europe where the sport has had a very solid foothold for over a century or whatever
- There is no promotion or relegation between any of these divisions, although USL1 and USL2 are supposed to have pro/rel between them at some point in the near future maybe
- MLS and USL have aligned together. They both employ a "single entity" structure in which the league awards franchises to ownership groups. Some MLS teams have reserve and/or youth sides in various USL divisions.
- NISA and NPSL are (in contrast to that) a collection of independent clubs.
- Canadian teams are included here and there for good measure, under the same FIFA rules that allow Welsh clubs to compete in the English football pyramid.

At those levels there are 2 leagues per division. At div 3 you have USL1 and NISA and at div 4 you have USL2 and NPSL
Over the years different leagues have existed. The U.S. is huge geographically so there were many regional leagues that eventually merged and so on. This is the current situation. The top 2 divisions now "belong" to MLS and USL. MLS and USL represent a single entity/franchise approach to all this, the way things are done in other top north american leagues (but not like in Europe). MLS and USL are owned by different people I think, but they have aligned together more or less, and have an understanding about their place in the pyramid
NISA in the 3rd division and NPSL in the 4th are essentially the leftover independent clubs. Due to the huge geographical size of the U.S., there is more than enough room for all these clubs to co-exist. Most of them are all in different cities. The US Soccer Federation has as such sanctioned the NISA and NPSL, so that these clubs can survive. Over time I would expect a bunch of them to jump over to the USL leagues personally, but who really knows

I'm not sure what 'a bit of a wild west' refers to but, just as a note, organized soccer has been played in the United States since the 1880s. It predates organized basketball, ice hockey, and American football. Among the major team sports leagues in the US, only baseball is older.

"Wild west" in the sense that in Europe every country has 1 football pyramid that's more or less "a part of the same structure" that does not really change over time.
In the U.S. until recently we had the NASL alongside the MLS. Both leagues were pushing for 1st division status, and eventually (IIRC) NASL was bumped down to div 2. Then NASL stopped existing. At divisions 2 3 and 4 things are constantly changing and shifting, leagues merging, teams moving from one league to another, etc.
Teams in the U.S. can also move halfway across the country, which doesn't really happen in Europe. It happened in the case of MK Dons, and we all know how that went down
