Something i must try later: tank traps made from cardboard egg carton.the cells are linked and the gap between is about the right height for a fire point. I can almost get away with the gray colour as cement. I think the shape is perfect and, of course, it's cheap. I could get about 8 pieces of terrain from one 18 count carton. 9 would be better for in 40k 6th ed, three small pieces are one terrain choice.

A chip off the old block
My son will be wargaming soon enough. Just 5 but he set up this scenario with soldiers,flags and a plane all by himself. I painted the plane ages ago with GW Devlan Mud to make it look orky.

Looted tank
Kit bashing 101. The basic body and tread shapes are wood custom cut by my dad based on a drawing and dimensions of the official GW Leman Russ kit. The turret is play dough, homemade play dough, and I moulded it with a hunk of an Ice Age McDonalds toy (at left). The barrel is obviously a glue stick husk. The tip is the knob from a second, larger glue stick which I spent quite a few minutes grinding loose with my rotary tool. It looks a lot more like a tank than even I thought it would. Now to brush the plastic shavings out of my hair!
Rock spires
Been wanting to try this simple recipe for rock spires a long time.just rough circles of hi-density foam with bamboo skewers.primed with cheap spray paint because toluene melts the polystyrene dust.
