Here's a long, ridge-like outcropping. The sloped edges are considered passable, the rugged nearly vertical edges are not. This rock, like all the others, has the three-tone spray paint on 1/2" pink foam. In the background you can see another hill, with another small rise added to it. In the scenario I am creating, the British must pass between this outcrop and the hill to reach their destination off board.
This formation is one of the most complex ones I have done so far, up to four layers thick, but I really like it. It makes for a pretty good high ground to hold, though there isn't much cover. It does provide a good vantage over most battlefields, so if you have a long-range weapon, this would be a good site for it. It's also difficult to scale, as most of the faces are cliffside.

These flat surfaced hills work really well for gaming. They do end up looking bit flat and artificial but that's easily fixed with a little sanding here and there, a little shaving of the lips at the hilltop to make it less angular and abrupt.
Another thing to do to mix it up is to make some freestanding rock spars like I did on my blog, but paint them all "martiany". That way you can add them to your flat top hills to make them less flat or on their own as ground cover.
