One of the joys of wargaming (and one of the True Joys that exist in our world) is the joy of creation.
Also, our hobby is a rather expensive one, and it can be much worse if we buy everything that we think is necessary to play.
Therefore, in this hobby I think we gotta be more like producers instead of consumers, as much as we can.
One good way to save some money and also train our "creativity muscles" is to build our own terrain and scenario, as far as our craftsmanship can take us.
I think almost anything scenario-wise can be built with simple, cheap, household materials.
Here is a list of some of said materials I have used so far:
- toothpicks
- popsickle sticks
- empty cardboard boxes and packages (such as tea boxes, toothpick packages, etc.)
- coffee mixers (those made of wood, like popsicle sticks, but usually thinner)
- toilet paper (when well mixed with glue it can be used to emulate fabric, clothes, etc.)
- toilet paper and towel paper rolls (the cardboard roll where TP is wrapped around)
- sprues (I often keep the best parts of the sprues in which the miniatures come - some are great to make trees, logs, fences, ladders, etc. And if the piece os sprue is good enough, one may even be anle to sculpt a simple weapon)
- metal wire (including copper wires - good to emulate ropes and sometimes pikes, spears, etc.)
- clay (to sculpt bricks, tiles, etc.)
- Empty cans
- match boxes (they are usually made of hard cardboard and/or wood, which is good for making shields and pavises)
- scrap wood (such as old pencils, which are good to make palisades)
- bottle caps (the metal ones may be sawed to make shields)
