Homemade wargaming terrain thread?

Cool!

There is a terrain I made out of medicine plastic countainers, shaving tools, paper, a small pipe and some other junk.

And here are some small pieces made out of plastic bottle caps, small glitter countainers, hot glue and wood.

And finally here is some "glass plants", being just transparent house tubing of random sizes and aquariun stones glued into a shape.

Not bad user, actually you just gave me a good idea.

Its good because its playable and cheap, and if I get a better idea, I can just disassemble the big piece and replace bits. Still wish I had an easy way to get skull and other small terrain details. as a Brazillian its quite hard without doing some hard research.

As a last and wip piece, a plasma or somethng else generator based into the ncromundicon design. The big one will have wiring and a light inside of it.

So anyone here 3D print things? I'm probably going to back that tilescape kickstarter myself.

Here is some stuff I've made for WarmaHordes.

Pretty much all of it is scratch built from sheet styrene, pink insulation foam, wood filler putty (for the stucco effect), balsa wood and foam core.

I wanna get into wargaming but it looks expensive as fuck and i wouldn't know where to start.

Is there any particular game you have been looking for?

Here are some of the BIG games that you are most likely to see at a store/club.

- Warhammer 40,000 (Mass battles, with about 30 - 60 models per side though you can add more or less pretty easily)

- Infinity (Skirmish game with about 10 models per side)

- Warmachine and Hordes (Moderately sized game with about 30 models per side)

- Malifaux (Skirmish game with about 10 models per side).

- Age of Sigmar (Mass battles, with about 30 - 60 models per side though you can add more or less pretty easily)

- Flames of War (Probably the most popular WWII game on the market)

Which one you are interested in will determine how you start collecting and what you'll need.

First of all, do you have a game store or club nearby?

if you want it cheap stick to 15mm or smaller for games with a bigger scope or just play skirmish games.
Round about 10 models is the common thing here and they are a one time investment.

What's probably gonna cost you in addition is getting paint and tools if you don't already have some.
The minis are not necessarily the most expensive thing about the whole affair, unless you play a GW game, those tend to push people to use ever bigger armies.

Saying this as a guy who's been collecting 40k and WHFB stuff himself. Just something to be aware of.

Best way to keep the cost low is to stay focused though.
Most wargamers tend to buy odds and ends of miniature ranges the like.
So if you just stick with one faction and one game you're already better of than most other wargamers.
