Yes sometimes having disposable income is a terrible thing!!

Look into mordheim. Its a fantasy based game the thrives on EXCESIVE terrain. Our league had the terrain to cover a 6x4 with more terrain then would be advised in a game of city fight. Its a good campaign game and also a great excuse to do a small project of awesomly converted minatures.

Once you get used to how terrain functions in fantasy you will see the need for its sparseness. Also terrain is mysterious which can be a game changer if the dice gods are not with you.

You also played a bigger game for your first time.

The thing to remember about terrain in WFB vs. 40K is that 40K units have no set formation. They're a vague blob that can adjust shape at need to squeeze between terrain features.

WFB units are blocks. A few can reform at will to squeeze through a narrow gap at will like 40K, but for most it's a major problem.

So if you crowd up a WFB battlefield like you would a 40K battlefield, you wind up either creating a battlefield where no units can move effectively, making the game massively boring... or creating a battlefield that gives a MASSIVE advantage to one side (either the side that has the most shooting, to take advantage of the uber-slow movement of the other's units; or the side with lots of fast-cav and skirmishers who can reform at will and move quickly across the board) again making the game massively boring.
