Will card be affected by painting it?
Card as in cardboard, or plasticard?

How can i cover up the non-flat bits of boxes?
Tape....plaster....thick paint?

do i have to use all of the coat hanger?
Nope. Just use a part of it, and show WHERE you used the part in your WIP pictures.

How can i glue plastic to card without it looking rubbish or non-necrony?
THin lines of superglue. remember with superglue..less is more.

Will card be too difficult, should i use foamboard instead?
Again, cardboard or Plasticard?

(my plan was to make using stuff only already in my house)
Go for it. with this paren statement, i take it you meant Cardboard above in your questions.
Card will be affected by OVERpainting it. painting thin semi dry layers will not affect thicker card.

Card won' be too difficult, and if you're notplanning on keeping the scenery, don't spend $ on makingit. but if you DO plan on keeping the piece, then you might want to look into foamboard. (more sturdy and it'll hold up to playing more. i use foamboard becausemy pieces see immediate wartime.)
