[QUOTE="Clint_L, post: 9109715, member: 7035894"] Cliffs are hard because they take a lot of terrain (i.e. $$$) for very little table coverage, so the best examples I have seen are from folks who make them out of foam, or Dwarven Forge, but that is probably the single most expensive thing you can make out of Dwarven Forge. DF wilderness terrain is around half price if you paint it yourself, but it is much, much more detailed and time consuming to paint than their dungeons or caverns (I can paint a whole dungeon set in about 2 hours, caverns in 3, but wilderness or Hellscape is probably 5 times as long - though that said cliffs are [I]much[/I] easier than forest tiles). This build was from a game a few months back: [ATTACH type="full" alt="Pirate Camp 3.jpg"]293522[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" alt="Pirate Camp 2.jpg"]293524[/ATTACH] Edit: One thing I have considered for doing a cliffside that characters had to climb and battle on is basically doing a cavern floor build with Dwarven Forge on one of their magnetic terrain trays (most DF pieces have magnets on the back) and then putting it on its side to create a vertical surface with ledges and such - that would probably work okay.
