I found some barbed Wire sections in an old scenery box! They were originally made for playing World War One games (WH's The Great War & Dave's Zero Hour) but I reckoned they were more urgently required in the North African desert... So I've "up-cycled" them.
They're made from some off-cuts of MDF sheet into which I've drilled holes and glued short pieces of cocktail stick. Some general purpose filler gives the ground an uneven appearance. Next, they were covered in stones, sand, grit, etc then painted to match the bases of my figures.
The barbed wire is available from a variety of games companies. Wind it around a large paintbrush handle then spray it black. Give it a few quick highlights of metal colours (silver and bronze). A little dab of super glue glue attaches the wire to the posts. You can also add in all sorts of debris like discarded weapons and helmets, bits of rusty vehicle, etc.
