Basing Materials

So whats everyone using for sand and grass?
the gw stuff or where are you getting it from? Hobby world train stuff?

im also looking for something like these from gw but hopefully somewhere else where i can buy JUST them




mainly the skulls...the rocks i think the den has a bunch of little tubs with rocks in them but im looking for some skulls for certain models basses

any help would be appreciated

thanks

I think GW sells a blister pack of skulls and the Den had/has some. Check the fantasy section.

As for basing I use good ole' sand from the lake. I try to collect 3 different grades. Except for my Lamenter army I'm currently (slowly) working on I sprung for Dragon Forge bases.

I use a mix of Home depot sand (3$ for 50 lbs) and some of the super fine sand from michaels for that retarded sand art crap. That was a buck for a couple pounds. The play sand is really course and the super fine sand for that art stuff helps make sure i get the sandy texture everywhere on the base.

They may also be from the Warhammer and Warhammer 40K Basing kits from GW. They are supposed to have some resin and etched brass pieces to use for bases etc. I've never actually seen them in person, and I'm not sure if they are a steal or a rip-off. Just sayin'.

Those skull bits are from the fantasy basing set. A tad pricey but fun to use. The kit comes with four or five little tubs of stuff I think.
