Interesting question.Have not done this type of terrain before.To make it I would make basic shape out of polystyrene, then heat with a hot gun (not too close though) and finally coat with goop.
A game board with lots of these sections would be very striking. EDIT stumbled on this ready made .not that close but also not bad

I had this idea for my Goblin Orc wars. The terrain would be modeled after Crematoria, of the Chronoicles of Riddick fame: link High density styrofoam, with small sections carved into "tors" or as fingers protruding skywards and these placed at the top of some rugged hills. cheers, |

I know there's got to be a clip of the dropship crash, that really shows the planet's terrain. It's the scene right before this one: YouTube link Dan |

I'd use some sprayfoam and sand…and buildings from here: link |

Look at Shelob's Lair, here: link Not mine, but I did something similar following directions from either White Dwarf or Black Gobbo, back in the day. Insulation foam sheets, heated with a heat gun. The foam collapses into these wonderful web-looking textures, easy to drybrush and bring out the detail. |

Timurilank: "High density styrofoam, with small sections carved into "tors" or as fingers protruding skywards and these placed at the top of some rugged hills." That was my thought initially but, for gaming, would it be strong enough? Dan |

If there was a way to sharpen the tips on bark chunks, this effect might be possible, don't you think? link Dan |

Actually, it's not that hard to build something like that. I've got a few I'd done a while back. Started with the plastic yard spikes and built off of them. Bark chunks isn't that useful as it tends to crumble. |

"Bark chunks isn't that useful as it tends to crumble." That's what I was afraid of. :( "Started with the plastic yard spikes and built off of them." Built off with what? Spackle? Textured paint? Dan |
