Hi folks, I usually use gf9 static grass, but I find it a bit tall for epic. What does everyone here use for static grass? Any recommendations?

I use Games Workshop's, actually. It's sort of knee-high on most models.

Hmm, that's the same height as gf9... Is anyone aware of any shorter static grass?

I've used Woodland Scenics Blended Turf with some success. It's not really static grass, but instead ground foam similar to clump foliage. I think 2mm is about as small as it gets - you can see it at Antinoceti's Workshop ( I hope that's spelled right)under Mininatur/Silfor.

The best pics I have of what I use are of WM figs, but the scale's close enough for you to get an idea:

They're Silfor tufts, the multi-height/dual color "buffalo grass" kind. Basically they're 2 and 4mm long static grass tufts that you pluck off of wax paper and attach via some PVA glue. Army Painter and now GW repackage them but with a good markup. I got mine here:

I just got this static grass from Antenocities workshop myself.

Its DECORPLUS gamer static grass 2mm green. I just tried it on a stand of british paras and it looks good to me.
