For terrain that I've built, I either paint the edges brown or flock
them dependent upon the slope) for "hills" or "slopes".

For mountains/cliffs, I use a gray color and lots of rocks at the
bottom.

Note that this for my previous 25mm wargames, I don't know how well it
would x-late into DSII.

My main point being that a convention can be used that let's the terrain
define itself by the way it's been built/painted.
