Image Description: Inspired by the Winter War between the Soviet Union and Finland I created this set of miniatures using Anvil Industry parts. Cold weather specialists (often called mountain troops although the two are not always the same thing) are an underrated type of soldier, but proved remarkably effective in many conflicts especially the aforementioned Winter War, known in Finland as Talvisota. The Winter War was one of the most obscure conflicts of the 20th Century until the internet discovered it and made it into a meme thanks to the Soviet advantage of numbers, but even more so of equipment where the Soviets had thousands of tanks and aircraft, but tiny Finland still held out for over three months forcing even Stalin to negotiate.
In this case I re-imagined or really adapted them into Imperial Guard, who could be used as proxies for Valhallans, but I see them as a distinct unit who are more used to being outside as opposed to living their whole lives in underground cities. |

 Excellent job you did there. I considered getting some of Anvils winter troops and now that I see what you did with them, I'm pretty convinced. "just" have to clear some of my backlog first. Adding the dogs was a cool idea of you. What did you use for the snow? |

 Army Painter Battlefield Snow. Mixed it with white hobby glue and water to make a thick paste to cover the base, and dabbed some in the grass, then sprinkled some loose snow on top for the freshly fallen look. The dogs are also from Anvil, although I don't think they're currently available. |

 very cool, the only thing I would change is to keep the rim of the base clean of debris and paint it, either a grey or dark brown. |
