This Party is Rue-eeind.

In what situations is it better to get in an intact building than a ruin, and when is a ruin better than a building? Ruins are generally better against vehicles, seeing as they are already destroyed, and buildings are better against infantrymen who can't pierce that armor. There, settled... what do you mean that article was short? I have a cold okay. Fine, I'll add more.

Now how do I make my buildings or ruins you ask? Well, since I need all my money for models, I can't afford GW ruins. Instead of spending $30 or so on a building, I simply make my own. Out of cardboard YAAAY! but in order to make it look better there are a ton of things you can do. For instance adding some small rocks, mud, or boarded windows is a great plan. Always make sure you base coat the building in black, or even grey. Then usually I slap on some textured spray-paint, the stone kind from Lowes, and there you go, some awesome ruins. Lastly I like to glue helmets in the windows, like they used to do in WWII so the snipers would shoot them, and having a row of lasguns on the wall helps too.
