Along with Hahma, what resources might you mean?

I'll take a stab: For terrain, there are some cheap options to buy terrain such as barricades off of miniature market called tiny terrain. There are some neat molds of jersey barriers on there for a dollar. I also have printed a whole print bed of them on my 3d printer at home. I bought the terrain pack that they have out that has 2 cars, 2 trucks, barricades of different kinds, and some supply drop token type deals. These things all just help with the submersion into the game but are not needed to play. As far as a game mat goes. They have some on various sites such as miniature market. I've played with the ones that come with the sets and they seem to be fine. I've also played on larger game surfaces with my wargaming terrain. It really can go "all out" with terrain. It can be simple or very complex. Either way is fine. Other resources can be found on the mantic website. There are custom rules for making your own characters in one of the books. I do own it and it is pretty straight forward with the rules and is useful. If you have a 3d printer, making more terrain and obstacles is really great. I love mine. I've also bought some cars and trucks at my local dollar tree that are very close to scale but havent painted them up to be destroyed wrecks yet. Hand crafting shanty looking barricades with popsicle sticks is also quite doable and you can find tutorials for that kind of thing on youtube. There are also some prefab miniature buildings that can be had as well. These are not really needed to enjoy the game and I don't really recommend getting these as something to start learning the game.
For miniatures. If you have a game such as modern zombicide you could definitely use the extra walkers in your games if you would run out of zombies or if you wanted it to get super crazy in your games. Also, with the one game supplement you could also make custom characters with the survivors that come with that game as well. I own all the zombicides but have not got to paint the hordes of them yet.
For additional cards and such, I've found it best to just pick up the big box expansions. The boosters have specific characters, but the big boxes are of the most value. I have a decent collection of the game so far but the big boxes are by far the best value. I've picked up a handful of boosters as well. You really should be set for a while just having the starter set. Go through the rules a few times before throwing another player into the mix or try out some coop with them to figure it out before playing skirmish against each other. After you get the rules down it isnt really too crazy to learn. I've had a decent amount of fun with it. If you take the time to learn it, I think you can really enjoy this one. If you have any other questions about it I'm sure myself and Hahma would be happy to help. Have fun.
