Green Plastic Hills

[I am Belch II]

Does anyone know where I can get some hills for Battletech where they go up like one level and flat on top so you can may put another hill on it. A long time ago I remember seeing something and would like to get more of it.

That might be where I have to go. Wish I could find the hills I saw before.

You might be thinking of heroscape. It's hard plastic hex terrain.

This is what I switched to earlier this year. One of the best terrain decisions I have made. It is great if you have the time and are crafty. If you are not great in those areas, heroscape is a great option and worked for me for years.

Heroscape.... I will look into that also

It's what I did:

Now to get rid of the 5 storage totes of heroscape tiles :(

Given that I didn't have foam lying around, I'm building hex hills out of plain old corrugated cardboard.

You can create cutting templates out of these:

One slighty advantage of stacking separately cut layers of corrugated cardboard, is that you'll get some "natural" unevenness, which looks rather nice with two layers of alabast filler applied (to hide the corrugated edge).

Keep in mind to offset the corrugation "grain" by 90 degrees between layers for extra strength.
I also glued a layer of 1mm thick "quality" cardboard to the top and bottom for extra strength.

I've painted the entire hex hills with Daler Rowney System 3 Warm Grey first
Then Americana Raw Umber for the flat top area, soon to be followed by some drybrushing.

The rest of the "rockface" will probably get a treatment along these lines: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4FshOmdHwn8

I might post some photos when I'm done, if I don't forget...

Thank you for the ideas. It will give me some ideas for my landscape.
