FLG Field Base Event Set vs Full Color: Which to Buy

Quick answer

Choose the FLG Full Color Terrain: Field Base Event Set if you want a painted, table-ready set with zero brushwork. Choose the FLG Terrain: Field Base Event Set if you enjoy painting and want to save money at checkout.

The real trade-off: your time versus your budget

Both sets are designed by gamers and share the same easy-to-build Field Base layout, so the decision comes down to how you want to spend your hobby hours. The Full Color version arrives pre-colored and needs only assembly, while the standard Field Base set is built to be painted. That difference is reflected in the catalog prices: the Full Color set is listed at USD 170.79, compared with USD 118.79 for the unpainted set. If you value a finished-looking table immediately, the Full Color set removes the painting step entirely. If you already own paints and enjoy that part of the hobby, the standard set leaves more budget for mats, dice, or additional kits.

Mats and bundle savings

Both complete sets include the same 15% off one gaming mat when you buy the set, applied in your cart at the time of purchase. That makes either option a reasonable moment to add a mat if you do not already own one. The discount applies to one mat per set purchase, so plan your mat choice before checkout rather than adding several and expecting the discount on all of them.

Where each set fits in a tournament schedule

If you run events or travel to tournaments, setup and teardown speed matters as much as looks. The Full Color set's no-paint requirement means you can assemble it and put it on a table without waiting for primer, basecoats, or varnish to dry. The standard Field Base set rewards planning: paint it in subassemblies before your event season starts, and you get a custom look that matches your army. Neither set includes a carry case or mat in the box, so budget for storage separately if you plan to transport either one regularly.
