True. But really, the only pieces I've seen that are compatible with Warhammer 40k are Games Workshop. Are there knockoffs I could get, or something? I know that I could make molds; that's pretty easy stuff. But I'd still have to pay an arm, a leg, and three eyes to get the archive casts...

deffinitly the cheapest, my grandma has leaarned to save money by getting me rocks and moss for my birthday so i can use them for the foresst world im creating (not the best gift ever but probly more practicle than any thing else i asked for)

Haha! Yes! Currently, I'm breaking up a 40+ foot long concrete sidewalk. If you need any smaller chunks to paint for boulders, lemme know, I got plenty and to spare.

That's why I like Mechwarrior. If you were playing on a table with objects already on it, boom, there's your terrain. Of course, it's much more fun if you have your own custom terrain, but still.

Yeah. But I'm just not too much into Mechwarrior on a whole. The pieces are wonderfully made, etc, but that still doesn't make up for my lack of love.
And besides, terrain-making is half the game!

of the top of my head void is good i should proboly ask what army you play, i play guard and tend to forget that other armies have harder times finding other figs. (all i need is a human with a gun and im set)
New wave games has a good selection of madels. just watch out for the occasional "18 or over signs" why someone would want a model only appropriate for those over 18 is beyond me but, hey, im only 13 maybe im not old enough to understand these things.
also, remeber you only need to use the stats of the codex. ive heard of some one making a squig (the little furry ork balls with teeth) army using the tyranid codex, and a dwarf army using the ork codex. both were completly legal

dont worry, my grandma just finished remodeling her house, and adding a "garage" about the half the size of their haouse. I've got plenty of rubble from them as it is.

When I finally get started, I'll be playing Blood Angels. Yeah, I know, I can pick 'em. I could always just make molds, I guess.
Plaster armies, here I come! Hahaha.
