i havent tried it myself yet but i was talking to demonherald at platoon britannica event, and he said that keep folding it and rolling it folding it and rolling it bake it in the oven then just break parts up and then just layer it up until your happy.
as for tutorials i dont think theres any with fimo, there is one on here but its with milliput which could be swapped for fimo.

or you can swipe a load of broken slate pieces from motor way services 
i\'m on the look out for bark chippings next, which i think some councils use.
time to reclaim my taxes lol

As Sam says there .. I use the fold and cook......
basically treat it like your making puff pastry..
take the ucured fimo , roll it out flat fold it over itself roll it flat .... keep doing this .. The more times the finer the effect... cook the fimo as a sheet then when you need it break it up and voila slate....
for making rocks and other features on fino bases I start by making the rough base shape first.....
after cooking I then bild up my features around this. to do rocks etc make the rough shape first then use a piece of slate or stone to texture it up by simply pressing it into the fimo.. (might be an idea to wet the stome first) then cook..
I like using fimo for bases it gives a nice depth of material to pin models into.. Of course there is always slate and rock and the natural stuff as GP says.....

I\'ve had great luck with tree bark. Around here we have a lot of oak, walnut, pine and such. So long as I don\'t make a big deal out of it, I just walk down the street and if I see a tree with good bark texture I\'ll just stop and snap off a piece. On one walk, I can get enough bark to last for a ton of bases.
