The Army Painter: Tufts - Highland Tuft

Highland Tuft is the rugged, windswept grass tuft designed to bring that wild, untamed highland vibe to your bases. It’s earthy, muted, and textured — perfect for windswept cliffs, ancient battlegrounds, rugged adventurers, and anything that lives where the land is harsh and the grass grows tough.

This is the tuft painters grab when they want “stormy moorland, rugged wilderness, or old‑world realism.”

What Highland Tuft Is Built To Do

• Add natural, weathered texture to rocky or earthy bases

• Simulate tough, wind‑beaten grass found in highlands, moors, and rugged terrain

• Blend seamlessly with browns, grays, and stone textures

• Bring realism to historical, fantasy, and grimdark models

• Create contrast without being overly bright or colorful

It’s the perfect middle ground between lush grass and barren wasteland.

Why Painters Love It

• Perfect for grounded, gritty armies (Stormcast, Cities of Sigmar, Space Marines, LotR, historical minis)

• Great for monsters and beasts that roam rocky terrain

• Adds believable texture without overpowering the base

• Pairs beautifully with Battlefield Grass, Brown Battleground, and Rocky basing materials

• Easy to apply — peel, glue, done

Highland Tuft is basically the “windswept realism” button for your bases.
