I unfortunately lost most of my warhammer 40 000 era pictures, here's what I recall :
- Buildings & walls out of cardboard and styrofoam
- Cardboard egg boxes, often used as rocky/uneven terrain. I stapled green felt on some to make cheap hills.
- Second hand bought LEGO to make our own buildings for specific scenarios such as choke point, capture the flag or bunker holding.
- cheap plastic trees found in those cheap animals/soldiers bags for kids.
- moss for cliffs and bushes/covered terrain (jungle or forest, very useful to hide units)
- three paving bricks to use as cliffs, high terrain than couldn't be climbed or even super walls that couldn't be destroyed or pierced
We used a lot of LEGO actually, with a preference for dark colored bricks. I remember we used the Rock Raiders, Space and Blacktron parts heavily. My favorite memory is lining up three very long wide planks we had set in one friend's basement and we had a half destroyed LEGO spaceship used as a capture point. We all started from the same side of the table and the first to reach the crashed spaceship would win the game. It was super fun because we both hesitated on the strategy to follow, either rush and pray or eliminate the most dangerous units and advance slowly but steadily ! We used 500 points teams, there one one Ork, one Ultramarines and me with my Tyranids.
