I am currently painting Russians for the Battle of Borodino game. Awaiting to complete the Jager units but looking to get the line units all "terrained" up. Yesterday glued on the line units onto the bases when I had a few minutes. I show a couple pictures to demonstrate how I do the terrain work.

close up of one of the completed bases with die frame and blank space for a label. For these I don't do a lot of 'shrubbery' as the mats are plain and I want the stands to blend in.

| and under the nice lighting of the game hall showing, hopefully, the bases blend into the mat 'ground' in spite of the practical thick bases (to pick up and move the fragile plastics rather than by the miniatures) |
A tutorial is at
link . The technique is quite simple but I hope effective to give a pleasing image of pastoral field cover and to blend in with the mats I use.
