So I'm going to quick cut and copy a couple questions from my introduction post and see what you guys think?

1) My buddies and I a creating a modular 6x4 "Trench Warfare" board and were wondering if there were any strong
resources on "Texturing with Snow"? We want a snow warfare board.

Similar to this one:


and 2) Along side our board project we will all probably be playing from home very often and are going for "Snow" Varients for our armys.
Are there any IG Regiments that have a Army Color scheme I can reference?

Just arctic cammo for the plastic cadians? Or collecting a vallhalan army? GW does (did?) have a cold weather regiment.

I know there are people out there who make snow diorama kits. Woodland scenics being available at my art hobby shop, probably others.

more of a tundra theme but this is the scheme i use for my IG, sorry for the large picture.

My own custom regiment, the Artician Frost Crows. Complete with full helmets and fur collars for snow deployment.

I would suggest taking a brief look here and seeing if anything tickles your fancy.

Camouflage patterned uniforms for winter/snow on infantry are actually rare beyond just being flat-white smocks or outerwear over top of regular camouflage.

Camouflage for tanks/armored vehicles is a bit of a different story, but some of it would be hard to replicate for infantry.

Thanks for all the input guys! All of it helps quite a bit!

Check out this thread for some rather nice inspiration:

I've been thinking about this too, I want to do a force of Kasrkin to represent Captain Echbar's unit from the Eisenhorn trilogy.

also @Melcavuk those guard look great, totally remind me of the Snow Serpents from GiJoe!!

Here is an awesome snow scheme I saw a long time ago. Very inspiring:
