Choose 2 toothpick and brake it half
Glue it to the third toothpick like this:



not very good picture but i try to draw to understand.

When you finished with this you need to wait and paint it with dark brown.

And the finished model:

that is a very simple but effective barricade. and fortune has it that I dropped like a hundred toothpicks on the floor a while back and have been saving them to make some wargaming structures!

Well as people say.. Simple yet Effective. I'm sure if you added this to a background of trees, grass, bushes or a city scape it would look well placed. Adding some grass, or bushy bits around it could liven it up tho.. also adding some thin frayed string would give it the impression of some latching it together.. not sure if that's the right word.

Perhaps lashing is the word you are looking for?

This kind of terrain should have its own special rules, and perhaps be deployable by certain minis at the start of a battle.
For example, archers used to put sharpened stakes into the ground, point facing away, so that cavalry charging them would be impaled on the points. Perhaps some kind of rule where they jump over, and if they fail the horse loses 1 wound?

It's a good idea in theory, but I think (and I'm not really a gamer) but wouldn't that be a massive advantage to the side that holds their ground?

I mean, what if both sides had them, no one would move. It would just be a waiting game where perhaps only archers could decide the outcome of the battle.

Neat idea and so simple. Man, I'd hate to accidentally stand on it in bare feet though.

Thanks for the tip, RangerX!

We all start somewhere! That’s a great way to start down the road of terrain-making.
