Quick answer

Choose Mountain Tuft for alpine or rocky terrain, Woodland Tuft for deep forests, and Frozen Tuft for icy or snowy bases. Each comes in three sizes and attaches easily with tweezers and super glue.

How to choose between them

The main difference is the vegetation look. Mountain Tuft mimics sparse alpine plants above the tree line. Woodland Tuft emulates dense forest floor vegetation. Frozen Tuft reproduces hardy tundra grasses that survive in snow and ice.

All three tufts are sold in packs of 77 and come in three sizes, so you can mix them on a single base for a natural transition between terrain zones.

What about mixing tufts?

You can combine Mountain Tuft with lighter or darker tufts for a spring/autumn effect, or pair Frozen Tuft with Battlefield Snow for a convincing winter base. Woodland Tuft works well alone or with other green tufts for varied forest floors.

Decision rules

  • For alpine or rocky terrain: Pick Mountain Tuft. Its sparse, hardy look fits mountain passes and above-tree-line settings.
  • For forests or glades: Pick Woodland Tuft. Its dense green appearance matches deep woods and lush glades.
  • For snow or icy bases: Pick Frozen Tuft. Its tundra vegetation works best with snow effects and cold environments.
