I have some painted 28mm Viking -types I want to draft into Frostgrave. Can anyone suggest an easy way to 'Winterise' their bases ? TIA |

Glue on some spots of fine sand, then paint them white. Eliminate any green colors by painting them as dead grasses or bare muddy ground. Jim |

Buy snow flock. Attach it by painting areas with white paint mixed with white glue. |

Easiest and cheapest formula ever, I use it on all my winter terrain: Elmers white glue, white craft paint, and baking soda. Mix more or less equal parts into a paste and use a paintbrush to apply it to the base. While it's still wet sprinkle on some dry baking powder so that the surface looks like snow flakes. This paste recipe has been used by military diorama builders and gamers for years. Dries perfectly hard and durable, and the terrain I made earlier this year is still pure white, it hasn't yellowed at all. |

Here's some of what I did with the homemade snow paste: link link link link link link link link ***I should note that I used Woodland Scenics snow flock to sprinkle on top of the paste but you could just as well use the dry baking soda and save money on not buying the flock altogether. |
