How to make Warhammer gaming terrain, a simple hill

Playing Warhammer can be great fun but is one of the more expensive hobbies i have picked up. After spending countless hours collecting and painting new units, playing on a plain kitchen table or even a textured playing surface just seems lackluster. The scenery online can run anywhere from fifteen to hundreds of dollars. If you are anything like me you would rather spend your money on increasing your Warhammer armies. Taking a look in your basement or closet can turn up most if not all of the things necessary to start making your own terrain. A great thing about making your own is that you can tailor it to fit your table or whatever size you prefer. This is my first instructable so criticism is welcome and needed =)

Step 1: Supplies

All of these supplies can be gathered from nearly any house or just a quick trip to a store.

1.) Glue, Elmer's glue seems to work well
2.) Sand (any will do)
3.) Styrofoam (and lots of it)
4.) Paint brush, its going to get sandy and full of glue)
5.) Sandpaper, I used 120 grit (not necessary but goes a long way for smoothing out the hill)
6.) Paint ( I used a brown i had left over after painting my bathroom)
7.) Disposable cup (mandatory trip to 7/11 for a Slurpee)
8.) Knife, pocket knife works fine

This looks a little bare with just sand and paint on the base. I would suggest that you add some tuffs of modeling grass and / or some bit leftover from one of your models to give it some flavor.

Once it is painted and dries, you can add some grass to the hill with a little bit more of the glue, then dust it with modeling grass. A photo of your completed project at the end would make this a great Instructable.

Nice. This is something I always wanted to do when I was into Warhammer but just never got around to.
