Since the various accessories and terrain that are actually marketed as gaming accessories tend to be really expensive (IMHO) we have had to get a  little creative and I wanted to share with you what we use, as well as ask what , if anything, do you use to spice up the worlds your minis exists in.One very good way to get a lot of cool looking terrain is to visit Petco, Petsmart or your local aquarium/reptile dealer. Tons upon tons of every size , reasonably priced and realistic looking caves, ground terrain, fortresses, cliffs, moss etc. Not only are they very cool looking but they are usually to scale and very well built since they are meant to withstand either being put under salt water or climbed all over by lizards. Check both the fish and reptile sections, as we've found that there tends to be different stuff in each section. Dept. Stores with fish or lizards sections are probably even cheaper. Other things we've used : Craft stores. Cheap, real looking trees, ground, unfinished wooden things that are to scale (barrels, barns, mini bales of hay, moss, grass, dollhouse furniture, beads to be "jewels" etc.). I got a couple of cool unfinished wooden buildings that look like either barns or farmhouses for 99 cents each at Michaels Arts and Crafts. Also, right now they are selling their 'Halloween Town' village and some of the accessories for this are creepy looking trees that look like they should be in a swamp in a fantasy forest somewhere.Lego. Can be used to build just about anything. Also sometimes comes with things like Lego sized chalices, animals, chairs etc.Tube o' Critters. Mostly horses. These are those 2-5 dollar plastic cases or tubes filled with small plastic animals. Megablocks Dragons. Similar to Lego only with a fantasy theme. Has cool, hilly terrain and lots of medieval wall and fortress pieces as well as weapons & dragons (albeit huge ones).Playmobil Knights (good walls) and Imaginex Castle (ditto) are good as well.So what do you use?</blockquote>
