I was wondering if there was any consensus as to who makes the best tufts for use with basing miniatures? |
| Joes Shop | 30 Apr 2017 7:03 a.m. PST |
I use Silflor – various heights. Example: link |

I find they're all more or less the same. Get a variety so you can mix them up. Like static grass I do find them a bit shiny, so consider putting on a matt varnish after basing. |

Gamer's Grass – self adhesive, irregular shaped, lots of different colors and lengths! If you're in the US you can get them here:

Joerg, That's definitely going to be linked to my favorites. Thanks so much. Dan |

The Good Folk. Leave out a bowl of milk for them, the bases, some hemp rope, a small sharp pair of scissors, and some white glue. They do an amazing job ^,^ |

Hi, I've only just bought my first tufts, as have been put off by the price in the past…couldn't justify the cost as they were a 'want' rather than a 'need'! But have recently bought some of ebay from 'war-painter' auction They came quickly and look good, but I've not actually used them yet. Can't say they are the best but seem good value to me! |

Warpainter does great tufts! Also check out Tajima1: link |

Joerg Bender… I just spent some money! Thanks for that link!! |

Thanks for ordering, Skipper! |

I think they are all about the same. When you find some in the colors you like, but a bunch of them. |
| Codsticker | 30 Apr 2017 6:36 p.m. PST |
+1 for Gamers Grass, however what surdu2005 says is more or less true. |
| altfritz | 30 Apr 2017 7:49 p.m. PST |
All the same, except Silfor is more economically packaged. Most others are less than a quarter the size. Some are just repackaged Silfor tufts anyway. |

I've been using Leadbears tufts (from down under). Nice quality and quite inexpensive. |

I second Wolfshanza's suggestion of Leadbear.
Delivery is quick and postage is surprisingly cheap. You can find Leadbear's Tufts on FB.

My go to is Army Painter, just cause it was the first one I ever used. And it's easy to get. However I'm liking the look of the Gamers Grass, I will put in an order. Xin/Jeff |

Joerg, do you ship to Canada? |
| Joerg Bender | 01 May 2017 10:53 a.m. PST |
Yes, I ship internationally. Send me an email with what you would like and I'll get back to you with a shipping quote. Then you decide if you want to place an order. Joerg

Fredericus Rex / Greenline are really good. |

Thirded for Leadbear, Barry is great to do business with, and the tufts actually stick! (Unlike all the others i have tried). Great product. |
| Codsticker | 01 May 2017 7:42 p.m. PST |
I was using Leadbear through eBay and they are excellent value. As I don't Facebook I actually had no idea he was still making them. |
| Wolfshanza | 01 May 2017 10:23 p.m. PST |
You can reach Leadbear thru his email, also. leadbear@internode.on.net |
| Wakefield Warmonger | 26 Oct 2017 1:50 p.m. PST |
Warpainter are excellent – they do sell you a kit to make your own too but you can get about 5 different types (close on 600 tufts) for about £20.00 GBP so you can mix and match. Lots of rocky / bushy / flower options. |

another vote for Warpainter |
find wargaming inspiration in his DNA results? Probably!
