1. What are miniature basing supplies?
Miniature basing supplies are materials used to decorate the bases of tabletop miniatures, model kits, and dioramas.
Common materials include grass tufts, static grass, sand, gravel, rocks, cork, flock, texture pastes, pigments, and snow effects.
2. What do I need to start basing miniatures?
A simple miniature base can be created using basing glue, sand or texture material, paint, and a few grass tufts.
As your skills develop, you can add rocks, cork, pigments, plants, snow effects, and other scenic details.
3. What are grass tufts used for?
Grass tufts are small clusters of synthetic vegetation that can be attached directly to miniature bases and terrain.
They're an easy way to add realistic grass, weeds, flowers, and other vegetation to a finished base.
4. What are texture pastes used for?
Texture pastes create realistic ground surfaces such as earth, mud, sand, cracked ground, concrete, and other terrain effects.
They can be applied directly to miniature bases and then painted or combined with additional basing materials.
5. Can I use basing supplies for Warhammer miniatures?
Absolutely. Basing supplies are ideal for Warhammer 40,000, Warhammer Age of Sigmar, The Horus Heresy, The Old World, Middle-earth Strategy Battle Game, and other miniature games.
They can also be used with historical miniatures, RPG models, scale models, and dioramas.
6. How do I choose a basing theme?
Choose a basing theme that complements the colours and setting of your miniatures, such as desert, woodland, urban, snow, swamp, or battlefield terrain.
Using a consistent basing style across an army also helps create a unified appearance on the tabletop.

Yes. Basic materials such as texture pastes, sand, gravel, and self-adhesive tufts are very easy to use.
Even a simple base can dramatically improve the finished appearance of a miniature.
