Hey, just wondering if anyone has utilized this specific color for basing, and what luck they've had with it. I was also wondering what other paints or washes were used?

Thanks!

If you want to have snow on your bases, just use some baking soda and PVA glue. It's cost effective and looks very convincing. The other stand-by (and the one I use) is Woodland Scenics Snow mixed with Realistic Water. Probably the closest thing to real snow you can get other than walking outside and picking some up off the ground.

I'm not a "GW Hater" but in my opinion, don't waste money on texture paint. You can get just as good or better results for less money with a little bit of time and effort.

I painted the base green, then gave it a heavy dry brush of the fang, then went for russ grey then fenrisian grey and then finally white (giving it a lighter dry brush every time to build it up).
It looked very cool IMO. I'll post a picture of my space wolf terminators that I based in the same way if you want, so you can see if you like it.

I based some of my Sternguard with it. A base of this, drybrush of praxeti white and some army builder winter tufts and I was done in very little time.

It's just one variation of basing I'm using though, I bought a winter basing kit from basecrafts which gives loads of other materials for very little cash. If I had to do a whole army it would cost a fortune and lack variety.

What I've found it very useful for is representing snow clogged up in the tracks of tanks, it's really good for that!
