Ranni the Gun Witch

How To Make Wargames Terrain by Nigel Stillman, Games Workshop, 1996. This is a compilation of some of the simplest methods for building the type of terrain seen in 1990s White Dwarf. Stillman uses an effective teaching style, keeping the basic projects very simple then showing variations that can add more complexity. This volume was inspirational for a generation of terrain builders who were able to reproduce the classic green wargaming table with inexpensive supplies -- lots of recycled cardboard and masking tape -- then go on to develop their own ideas. The book's main downside is what I call the "English Heritage site" design style, with ruins surrounded by perfectly manicured lawns and no rubble.

Warhammer and 40K are referenced in the table of contents, but not on the book's covers. I wonder if this is one of the last products GW made for "wargames" instead of for "the Warhammer hobby (TM)."

MS_Paints recently pulled this book off the shelf and built his way through a table full of 90s-inspired projects straight from its pages:
