Interesting tips and thoughts concerning modeling (Warhammer 40k)

So I was thinking about ways to make it cheaper to make an Army for Warhammer 40k. You really should decide how vested you are willing to be in this hobby. First thing, a dollar amount, because this game is expensive. Skipping a few of the next things, how can you cut costs? Go to your kitchen, take the tops of your betty crocker buttery spread, and even the cans them selves, and cut them into useful shapes that you can basically cut, glue, bend, and reshape in order to have materials. There is a cost cut for plasticard. Now the next thing is glue. I used to be a strict advocate of the 1.00 for 4 to 6 packs of tube from Wal Mart, but I have learned that the games workshop glue is so much more efficient and solid. So use the good stuff. Next is your army build. If you are doing marines, you can take weapons and parts, even ink pens, and create guns, barrels, your favorite old army toys, and even do custom weapons. Same thing goes for imperial guard. Another thing, if you are playing Orks, you're imagination is your only limit. Go nuts, turn the army tank from the green plastic army men bag into a small looted wagon, cut the top off of it, take those Betty Crocker tops, cut some sheets to shape it to a more orky look with teef and gubbins, maybe wires from an old speaker cable, then the ink pens that are dead, spill the guts, take the lid, cut then into halves, make something to mount them, looted wagon with a boom gun. Really just general things to consider when you are wanting to save a buck on this hobby.
