It's just paint  :) I used the 4Ground base paints as they were on the table when I was doing touch-ups on all the buildings, but I'm sure any water based paint will work, like Vallejo for instance. The paint rubs right off with your finger so I'm able to change figures on the "teams" very easily. I had tried rubber bands to go around the bases but that was a nightmare!
Also, the bases are from Likto.

Thanks, I have the bases and I remembered seeing yours color coded. The rub off part sound great, because I'll slop some on the top and bottom I'm sure.

No problem! Another little tip if you do get some paint on the top and bottom of the base is to just use a toothpick to scrape the paint away, sometimes depending on where or how big the figure is you can't reach the spot you want to clean up with your finger  lol And the toothpick won't scratch the plastic at all  :D

I'm doing the same thing for this year's Historicon as well, you can see a few figures being reused from last year with new colors on their bases so it's a really easy thing to do.
