Easy bases for Blood Bowl

Hello all,
Some of you were curious as to how I make my bases for BloodBowl. Happy to oblige, I can reveal that I have, once again, found the simplest way possible to this...

My son has been attending courses in architecture for kids and, knowing that his dad is a sucker for anything and everything interesting, one day he brought home a few tattered remains of the sheets of grass the architects use for grass. This turned out to be perfect for basing 28mm miniatures - and makes the entire process incredible easy.

Step one.
Cut out appropriate circles of this wonder grass:

Step two:
Glue these circles to the base. I use bases from Sally 4th with magnetic sheeting on one side. Cheap and easy to store afterwards.

Step three:
Apply some details to the base - I've painted a thin white line to represent the chalk lines on the field and some splatters of blood here and there, using the wonderful Tamira blood.

Step four:
Wait, there is no step four - the bases are already done! I do not think it can be done easier than this and the grass looks brilliant.
I've bought a large sheet of similar grass from a cheap Chinese store (through Aliexpress) and although a tad too bright the price is right (7$, including shipping).

I hope some of you found this useful - let me know if there are any questions!


All the best,
