Lots of discplacements?
All you can really do is take time to learn how to use the tools well and get to practicing.

I suppose you could use Nem's Terrain Generator if you want. http://nemesis.thewavelength.net/index.php?p=8

how would that terrain editor work for vavlehammer?

 

[knightmare]

you could make a disp map in a program like zbrush, which is how i would do it, then when making the levelmake the geometry a little deformed but keep it simple, then add the disp map and texture to it

Check the Valve Developer Wiki for an introduction to using displacements.

Yup displacements is what you want... They are fairly simple. Just make a brush and click the "texture application tool" (multi colored tool).. Select one side of it and hit "displacements" and then "create". Now play until you're damn good at it.
