Warhammer 40,000 should be an immersive spectacle. It should be two armies clashing on a far-flung world, ravaged by the destructive might of each side. Heroes are forged on the fields of battle and sagas will be sung of their deeds!

But when your home scenery is an empty pizza box, a pile of books and your holiday decorations it can fall a little flat.

This is why your local hardware store will become a mainstay of your hobby shopping. Not only can you get your peripherals like a tape measure for cheap, you’ll be able to pick up the building blocks of your alien world!

All those years of arts and crafts in school will finally come into play. With as little as four ingredients you can make bullet wracked buildings and towering mountains.

1. Polystyrene floor insulation;

2. PVA glue;

3. decorative rocks; and

4. spray paint.

Together with a bit of time you will soon have a battlefield worthy of the grandeur of your fledgling army and your wallet will thank you too.
