I have a $25 ebay coupon and I wanted to get some terrain for FoW. Is there any terrain that is better than the others for some reason?

Or terrain that is fun or adds a new element to the game.

Its been my experience that houses are the best to buy and everything else is pretty easy to scratch build.

FOr example, if you purchase one of those coconut fiber welcome mats and slice it into 6"x6" sections you can usually get like 24 field sections.

However a quick view of ebay tells me your best bet is to pop into home depot and pick one up for like $10.

Hedges are dirt cheap and can a lot to the game with little effort.

I sent you a PM with a couple links for inexpensive terrain. Hope it helps.

Spend your money on rubberised horse hair, car air filters, scatter, pva glue,styrene and some 3mm mdf.

As mentioned above this will sort you out for hedges, bushes and trees which is the best way to bring your FOW terrain alive.

Plus it will be made by you so it will be all that much better

What are the car air filters for?

Also any idea where you can get rubberised horse hair? Rare as hens teeth round here. Upholsterers don't seem to use it anymore.
