I've been playing Legion for about a year now, but I'm now just getting interested in making terrain. What are some quick, cheap, and easy ways to make Terrain for beginners?
New to Terrain Building
Use craft foam and dry wall spackle to make rocks or buildings. I've seen more than a few people make buildings out of cardboard. Really depends on what you're wanting to do.

Use household objects and spraypaint and a hot glue gun. You would be surprised what you can knock together.
For instance, you can get a few beer cans on one of those ocean-safe can holders, glue a cardboard base on it hit it with some metallic spraypaint and viola! Coaxium fuel tanks. Big cheap line of sight blockers.

Thanks to the both of you! I'm thinking about 2-3 buildings and a handful of trees and rocks.

On a day off and spend it at the hardware store and the arts and crafts store. Look at everything and picture it on your table. Electrical boxes, plumbing fittings become outposts upside down craft boxes become Imperial strongholds. In my house for a while NOTHING went into the garbage without first seeing how it could be turned into terrain.
You can turn cardboard, foamboard and styrofoam into just about anything with a little imagination. My advice is to always coat everything in ENAMEL paint before you begin to finish it/decorate it for your table. Enamel paint prevents warping of the above mentioned products and you can paint/decorate them any way you like when dry.
Wall filler or Joint Compound is a great way to achieve a concrete look for your buildings. I recommend watering it down a bit before applying. Thinning it and brushing it on will give the look of concrete (or the Star Wars equivalent) so it won't have that peanut butter or icing look when dry. You can sand it and paint it any way you like when it is dry.
For inexpensive trees I recommend hitting the arts and craft stores especially during their halloween to christmas seasons. You can find all kinds of artificial greenery that can be turned into plant life and painted to match your environment. The holiday stuff will have some more unique looking items and are almost always 30% to 50% off. (75% to 90% off during clearance)
