Hi guys, i am new to this forum, just saying. I need help with a scenery project i am doing. The scenery is a large cliff on which i would like to place my army, just for it to look good . i am having trouble forming the cliff edges and painting it. If i have enough people interested (comments etc) i will post pictures. Keep in mind that i am generally new to the table top warhammer and have close to no scenery supplies. i have made this project out of mortar sand (stuff that hardens) and cardboard! So far i think it looks pretty good, since i have very unsteady hands and absolutely NO artistic talent. Thank you guys, all help is highly appreciated and i will keep you guys updated (if anyone cares). Thanks for taking your time to read this, have a great day

Hi if your looking for help I've been watching Terranscapes on youtube hope it helps

here are some photos

Maybe add some natural stones to it for added realism just look around outside and see what you can find.
From a building point if view what ratio of sand to cement have you used? It looks very dark so I'm guessing about 50/50 Morter on its own can be quite powdery if not mixed to the right ratio. Would suggest at least 4 sand to 2 cement

You could also use some spagnum moss to give a bit of flora.

for ratio i used random, i find it will always dry the same, just take longer, as long as the mortar was very liquidy and pliable. How would i add natural stones? do i make them? with what and how? or do i just use rocks from the ground? Thank you both for the feedback!

A big problem i would love some help with is the stone color for the sides of the cliff, the green color i added is for grass, obviously not growing on the vertical cliff faces, should i chisel it to make indents in the rock faces or just paint it and highlight? what colors should i paint/ highlight the cliff faces with? On the other hand, some moss sounds great, i will pick some up as soon as possible, only problem is i cant spend any $$$ on 40k, it's expensive and i need thee $$$ for the start of school. Thank you all for the help!

Add natural stones by finding rocks of the appropriate size, then gluing them on, i tend to build up sand or use gs to help blend in the rock itself.
