The WorldWorksGames paper terrain series, particularly VillageWorks and PubWorks ones, will let you churn out lots of buildings quite cheap in not a whole lot of time. If you've got access to a printer on your computer, index-card terrain is a good way to make a lot of it very cheap, with not to much effort. People will start to take bands like Rieklanders, Averlanders, and Shadow Elves, and those with close combat-only lists like Possessed, Orcs'n'Goblins, and so on will get fairly regularly slaughtered in matches that aren't much fun. With lots of flat areas, you'll find that missile weapon oriented bands become amazingly powerful. Mordheim is definitely a game where too much terrain isn't a problem, and indeed, having too little of it makes it pretty boring. In fact, I suspect some of the game will involve people playing in the quarrey - a 4' x 4' table covered in multiple layers of hills, big and small. The hills worked very well, and they're going to remain blue for now. I also made a bunch of 1" hills out of blue styrofoam insulation. The only stuff left is the really thin, flimsy stuff. These buidlings took a lot of time, and used up all of my good balsa wood.
So far I've got three ruined building, one, sort of, being two stories, one being a three level tower, and one being flat to the ground. And so, I have begun my crash course in making terrain. and the only terrain we've got is what came in the box set. Of course, we only actually have enough figures for about half the players - we're kind of depending on the most undependable guy on Earth to supply us.
In an effort to forestall (is that even a word? It should be) massive amounts of frustration, my gaming group has decided not to give peace a chance, but to give Mordheim a chance instead.
