Greetings all.

All the static grass I have is really specific to woodlands (been fine for my Elves and Dol Guldur forces so far). Now that I'm starting to crank on Rohan I realize I'm going to need to get something new but not sure exactly what to get.

I'm looking for that green/brown/yellow color you see in the early part of TTT with the Three Hunters chasing the Uruks and a little later with the Warg attack on the way to Helms Deep. I can probably duplicate the ground color with regard to paints but I want some short and medium static grass clumps to break things up as well. In addition to my Rohan models, I will be redoing my Isengard army in time (they were my first and I've come a way since then) and also want to use this look for my terrain pieces.

If anyone has some specific colors/codes it helps me a lot. And pics of a model or terrain piece with the grass as an example would be appreciated. I usually use Woodland Scenics since my LGS carries some variety (but nothing currently in stock for this I found) and can order anything else pretty quick, but I'm open to suggestions if there's another brand that nails this color better (US purchase only for shipping purposes).

advTHANKSance!

It's fairly expensive but GW actually produce some colours that you want.

There is dead grass; http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catal ... rod210005a
or scorched grass: http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catal ... rod1095404

I think the colour you want is dead grass but scorched can add some variety. I'm not sure what's available by different companies however.

I've used grasses from a company called Mininatur, a German company so not sure where you'd get it in the U.S. but Antenocitis Workshop stock it. It's pretty good stuff and comes in a range of colours and lengths.

For rohan grasses I have mixed dead grass and scorched grass in a seperate tub about half and half to get quite a nice shade. You can experiment with your own ratios and see what you like .

Will.
