Hi,

I'm trying to add some new scenery to my board and I'm looking for good hills.

I'm hard-pressed to paint all my models as it is, so I'd like to find some pre-made, pre-painted, pre-flocked hills. I already own some old GW hills (see HERE) but they're not sold anymore and I can't find any on the web.

I've also looked at Ziterdes, but their hills are small and very expansive, so... What are the other options?

Its been a while since I checked, but doesn't GW still sell the plastic modular hills from BoFA? Granted, they're not pre painted and flocked, but compared to making a hill from scratch, this should be doable in a reasonable ammount of time.

Yes they do, but I'm so lazy.  :vo

I will buy those if I can't find anything else, but I'd much rather have premade hills...

Amera make good alternatives. But perhaps stay clear of their hills and look at the more modeled variants, as the one above. F205 Moorland Hillock.
But yeah, spray and flock.

These look really good! Too bad about the flocking thing, though... but they're tempting, for sure.

They're cheap, too. How solid are they? That plastic looks really thin and fragile.

Weeeell... Do you intend to place your pint on them, or play Epic with them?
It's vacuum-formed ABS, it's fairly durable and doesn't shred.
And here's the four I've made so far:

OK, I'm sold, unless somebody comes up with a better option.  :)

Thanks!

I'm currently working on the GW hills right now. They're very nice. I should be posting up some completed pics sometime this week in my terrain thread.
