This will be my shortest and sweetest post. There is no better way to wargame than with handcrafted terrain.

Benefits of Handcrafted

Remember what came from 3D Printing? Handcrafted is better. The care, the design, the patience. All things crucial for a wargamer. You can build anything as long as you can picture it. Thousands of YouTube videos and blog posts will help you on your way. Want to craft an airbase from Top Gun: Maverick go for it. The possibilities are endless. It is your size, vision, and hobby in the most whole way possible.

Handcrafted terrain is typically far cheaper than any other option. You can use garbage and recyclables to create stunning dioramas of perfect proportions. You can buy craft paints from Walmart, brushes from the cheapest of the cheap places, and make something of your own.

Downsides

The only downside, and unfortunately, the most consequential, is time. It takes time to build, vision board, paint, learn, and time, and more time, and more time.

The other slight downside is artistic skill. I am not an artist, but I think this can be practiced again with time.
