Now, I am not a huge proponent of decorative bases for minis. Not opposed to them, either. But my philosophical bent on the subject makes me wonder what fantasy Dwarf-type players prefer in a decorative base. Flat Green
Green with Grass
Dirt and Grass
Dirt and Stones
Flat Grey Stone
Rocky Grey Stone
Gravelly
Sprinkled with Ore Nuggets
Sprinkled with Gems Something Else I Missed? OK. Two Disclaimers: (1) My philosophical bent plus I have accumulated a number of Dwarves through donation and trade and don't play them, so I want to base them up for sale. (2) I thought "gravelly" wasn't a word, but spellcheck didn't barf on it and I pulled down the dictionary from the shelf. It is a word. |

Dirt and grass and stones. I'd match their bases to the principle terrain you'll be fighting over. Dirt, grass and stones for overland battles, stone for underground, dungeon themed games. |

I prefer flat gray stones--paving stones, more or less--but I tend to wind up with gravel. So much quicker and easier. My halflings are grassed, of course. I keep wanting a system under which the army breakpoint is worse if the troops aren't based to match the terrain. Do your Imperial Storm Troopers in an urban black/gray base to clean out Mos Eisley, but if you send them into the Ewoks' woods, they'll comeback faster than they went in. |

Lately I've been painting bases to resemble flagstone floors. |

I base mine just grass – very boring, eh?. |
