Army Painter Battlefields - Brown Battleground

The foundation nearly every base starts with. Brown Battleground is coloured hobby sand in three grades, giving you the perfect groundwork to build up — leave it earthy or paint it to match any climate you like.

Why it's good

• Three grit sizes give natural, varied ground
• Ready-coloured, or a blank canvas to paint
• Easy to apply and simple to store

Lay it down as your groundwork, then add tufts and grass on top — this is the layer everything else sits on.

The base layer for realistic ground. Pairs with a bottle of basing glue and a scatter of tufts to finish.
