I'm mostly thinking of terrain here. I was thinking to buy a small army and play with a friend. Not interested to sink a lot of money in to it, I just don't trust them not going full woke.

Terrain is fairly cheap to make without 3d printing. Hills can be carved from polystyrene (24 sqft for ~$10 at a Home Depot). Cut some blocks, stack them roughly to the right height, and then just cut off some of the sharp edges. Coat in PVA glue so you can give it some primer, paint and cover in the model flock of your choice as you would for your dudes' bases. Works for craters too. Back in the day when you could get free AOL CDs, they worked great as a base for craters. Buildings can be made from thin cardboard, cereal boxes, etc.
Aquarium scenery is fairly cheap from the pet store and roughly the right scale. Some neat tropical plastic plants in the aquarium section too. If you've got a general hobby/crafts store, like the kind that sells model trains etc, they generally have model terrain that's reasonably priced, good for getting a bunch of trees on a card base for forests.
I've seen a few good videos on terrain, some extremely accessible and not that hard to make. I just need the time to cut and paint them. I have very little time to do them.
Guess I'll just settle for using boxes, bottles and imagination.
