[QUOTE="ledded, post: 1071777, member: 12744"] My advice is to look at your local Dollar Store/Wal Marts. You can occasionally find sets of the plastic toys that can be used with 25-30mm scale minis pretty well. For cannons, take a look for some of the old Weapons and Warriors toy sets. They are various playsets that have near-30mm plastic soldiers, cannon/catapults/trebuchet/etc that shoot little plastic balls at your enemies men and emplacements. They can be found on ebay and elsewhere pretty cheap, as they are mostly out of production. I picked up a few sets at a discount dollar store kind of place for only a couple bucks each, and I ended up with some usable terrain pieces and about 15 siege weapons. Most of the hobby sources for good cannons, etc. are going to be fairly expensive, and in a wide variety of scales. Look for the toys, or find a way to make your own (some small wooden dowels, foamcore, cheap toy plastic car wheels, and some heavy card for detailing and you might be able to make something passable once it's primed and painted).
