Get a box or two, plus some cheap plasti card and make a bunch of small ruins and buildings, just one story each, scatter them around the table.

Before too long you might have a whole city ready to go.

Add some 1/43 or 1/35 scale diecast cars, bang them up and paint them a dull color. They can provide some low cover or flip them on the side for something higher.

If you're looking cheaper but more work, a $5 sheet of foam core+a razor blade can make just about any sort of wall or building you need.

Maelstrom's Edge has a useful little terrain spure coming to dress up all those flat surfaces.

And print out some WWII propeganda posters (or some 40k spoofs of them) to glue over everything.

Also look at getting some blue insulation foam and a good hot wire cutter, it can them be shaped into all sort of interesting rock formations.

DEAD CHEAP AND DEAD EASY

Rocks.

Find interesting rocks of different sizes, maybe use plaster/spackel to put them on bases, maybe not.

Done.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/652972/7913282.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/652972/7913282.page GMT Cheap/fast easy 40k board Then search the web for card cut out scenery (or often called papercraft) for buildings to print, cutout and glue together.

Thanks! I might go with the canvas mat idea. What things should I put on my board? Also, how should I transport the landscape pieces

I haven't tried anything else to be honest. The caulk holds a lot of the sand and stone down and gives some texture.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/652972/7919349.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/652972/7919349.page GMT
