What do you use for your bases?

A piece of model terrain with sculptamold rubble
Hobby Tip: Sculptamould/DIY Analog
Great for terrain. A mixture of paper pulp & plaster, it can be applied thicker then poly-filler, does not have the cracking issue & the fiber makes it robust.
Use it to build up/add uneven earth and rubble.

But my paint collection being so eclectic means matching to my colors would be a chore. I've GW, AP, Vallejo, P3, Kimera etc.
I want a full range from 1 for the ease, but that's a lot of $ to drop for tutes I make for the lols.

Everyone has their own personal spin on speed painting.
I'm not a fan of full black n white zens/slapchop, mainly because I don't like black drabbing up my hues. So I use a ambient mid tone in my Zen, and some dry brushing to finish.
