Ive wanted to do Fall colors on an army for a long time.  Now that Im doing some 6mm, I figure, "Why not!"

The problem I am seeing is that Woodland Scenics only has their Fall-colored flock in Coarse Turf (http://woodlandscenics.woodlandscenics. ... CoarseTurf) which may not scale correctly on the bases of Space Marines and Eldar.

My plan is/was to buy all 3 fall colors, plus a dark green and a medium brown-ish fine turf, and do some mixing.  I was thinking 2 parts dark green, 1 part brown, 1 part each of the red, orange and yellow.  Stir it all up and hope for a decent resemblance to a nice Fall carpet.

Has anyone used the Coarse Foliage?  I wonder how it would mix with some Blended/Fine turf, and if the colored clumps would just look too silly and big?

If this isnt a valid solution, does anyone know another manufacturer of fine blended fall colors for bases?

I use fine turf with sprigs of course here and there mixed with clump foliage. I'm pretty happy with the results for the most part.

Look for Vaaish's painting blog. He has some great pics of his well-painted and flocked infantry.

I used woodland scenics coarse turf for my 'nids; check em out the blog to get an idea but i quite liked it in the end.
Wouldn't use it for some armies but it's worth a go.

I read through your log.  Good stuff!  I think the coarse flock should be ok.  Now to invest in like $50 of the material because it comes in such huge quantities
