Creating Arctic Bases and Terrain
By Rob Hawkins

bases are perfect for the armies from the Northern Chaos Wastes
and Kislev forces alike, but any army can benefit from a strong
winter theme. The Hostile Terrain section of The General's Compendium
has rules for fighting in the Frozen Lands, and there are plenty
of new "winter" scenarios – a fantastic opportunity
to make up some icy terrain and matching bases for your models!
Imagine a winter version of your general standing in the snow and
modeled with a fur cloak!
All of the basing techniques described here start with the same
technique: glue sand and gravel to the base and prime the whole
thing with Chaos Black Spray Primer. This is best accomplished if
you affix the sand while building the model and then prime the whole
figure at once. Once the model is painted, follow these steps to
finish the base.
Remember that these techniques aren't only limited to model bases.
Any of these methods can be used to create an entire snow-covered,
frostbitten battlefield! Click the links or images below to see
how it's done.
