Cutting bricks for ruins can be done pretty decently with a sharp kitchen knife or an olfa knife for example. You could also get a handheld hotwire cutter and fix it in a vice or with clamps and use a straight piece of wood for a guide. Kind of like a makeshift hotwire table. I did both things in the past and they work well enough for small to medium sized projects.
Truth is nothing beats a hotwire table for efficiency when cutting looooots of bricks. So if you want to craft a lot of brickwork you'd be very happy to have a table still.
I've always been a little leery of xps foam. Looking at your stone ruins makes me want to give it a go.
