the fenriders look excellent mate, I love the Puppets war stuff.

Thank you @biggabum . Fully agree with you, the Puppetswar stuff is great, I am actually surprised how little of their products I am using, I have used them more extensively in the past. Across the entire planned army, I am knitpicking so many 3rd party alternatives; so many in fact my bookmarks are bloated with them. There is so many individual pieces that if they were from one store I would save significant amount of money in postage alone.

The Cryx base under the Ice sounds awesome. How would you go about it? Personally Methinks I would be tempted to paint a picture of the base directly onto the board then use an ice effect over the top. The outside of the board would be snow covered land, with a few hills with caves as entrances/exits. Thanks for the mention about the wife. Yeah she’s making progress slowly, but at least it is progress.

I would use foam board and dig into it for a lake bed, and built up on the sides for hills etc. I was then going to lay down what is the equivalent of oil pipelines all converging into the centre of the lake. Then use a lot of clear resin with a mix of white and blue paint to pour into the lake and give that frozen affect. Top with snow and shipwrecks. Trees on the outsides.

This is an old picture I have on my computer
