Both of these basing materials series are best applied using super glue.
- Battlefields Essentials – This series is composed of mostly ground effects, which create a perfect baseline to build upon with the XP series.
- Battlefields XP – This series is composed of mostly tufts that appear to have been plucked directly from each of the chosen settings. There are three different sizes on each sheet of tufts, allowing for you to use them on many different base sizes, or to give your bases even more detail.
