Very nice. I have been pulling together figures for such a game myself, but I haven't gotten them on the table yet. |

How did you achieve the ice effect on your bases? Where did you get the map? |

Wow! It makes me feel cold. |

Bourbon biscuits for Napoleonic Allies…? Tasteless. (IN every sense. How much cocoa actually goes into one of them and its foul filling?)
Never seen the Cossacks better shown. Subdued colours, dim lighting, the freezing effects….brilliant. Despite your point number 7. Everyone else is impressed even you are not quite happy with the basing

I take no responsibility for the Bourbons, the Battenburg is my thing! Thanks for the comments guys, I really appreciate it. The Matt is from Artistic Impressions, they sell trhough Ebay and are local to me. The basing, this has been very trial and error and some have worked better than others. My latest attempts are a pollyfiller type base, with some rough bits, ideally behind the troops where they have marched and the odd frozen or dry looking tuft. A light wash of dirty water I have used to wash my brushes with a bit of "fog grey" mised in, then slapp a load of PVA over the top and cover it a snow flock for 4ground. That is retty much working excet where I have made the washes too dark. It looks better where I have bases with more or less of the wash all mixed up. Getting there but as mentioned still not entirely happy.The positiv comments here though will keep me enthused to push on so thank you. |

Rally now I am sure I have some earlier posts from about a year ago on the terrain and the very start of this project which might give you some fuller answers if you search on the blog. |
