Thank you for the praise, visit, and comment! I have another video on snow basing that demonstrates its durability if you are interested. ua-cam.com/video/vTsuc2XRRLE/v-deo.html
Thank you for the visit and comment! Come back in about a week if you want to see a quick video on the durability. I've been asked that a couple of times and I will be throwing it around pretty roughly to show how it stands up.
This is the most perfect tutorial for snow effects ever, and using the exact 2 Ak Terrain snow products I'm intend on buying. I'm definately sold on those now, thank you!
Great video! I think I can use some of these tips - am looking to base my Battletech minis in a nice snow base. Was thinking of applying AK Lunar Desert terrain, drybrushing the dried terrain, then putting Snow Terrain with a microballoon topping.
@@workingwithminiatures0706 Decided on using AK Wet Ground, Snow, and Microballons. It turned out great! Have you ever thought of sealing the terrain or is it fine as is?
The snow effect tutorial is very helpful but I'm really here for the Pantera inspired music that sounds like it was made using a Sega Genesis soundbank. I enjoy something unique as opposed to the generic backing music!
Thank you for the visit and comment! The song was written by myself and a friend of mine a long long time ago. It was transcribed in Guitar Pro (Guitar Pro sounds like midi music). I exported each guitar track out separately and ran them through Reaper and added some Chorus effects to make it sound less like a Nintendo track and more like something you'd find on the Genesis.

Thank you for the visit and question. Simple answer is less snow is more, from my most recent experiences. I will be doing more snow bases in December, as I will be doing some seasonal themed miniatures. If you want to make a stop by again then, I'll make sure I actually cover the snow basing then. Also, early next year I plan on painting a ton of Adeptus Sororitas and Blood Angels with snow bases, as well. Below are some links to videos where i've done smaller snow bases. These aren't tutorials on how i did them, but they help show what i mean by less snow = more. I've found a solid white snow base is no different then leaving your base an unpainted black. ua-cam.com/video/vTsuc2XRRLE/v-deo.html - my snowbase durability test, if you want to see how doing the bases like this holds up to some fairly significant impact Marvel Crisis Protocol - Sabertooth - ua-cam.com/video/Yvp22Kbw8yk/v-deo.htmlsi=RgRSAbrilNof6sYH&t=636 - doesn’t show how I did the base, but look how I left some areas uncovered with snow, I’ve found the less snow I add, the better it comes out Marvel Crisis Protocol - Wolverine - ua-cam.com/video/gjO2eyLeK-s/v-deo.htmlsi=g2Hk_ZYJ7eoFP8cT&t=457, doesn’t show base but shows how the base looks
I can't remember what I did here for this video, specifically. But depending on what kind of snow effect you want, you can change how you apply these Ak Interactive Texture pastes. If you want a look like the last bit of snow melting, then you can water down the Snow texture and dab it on. It will have a glossy shiny look like its wet. If you want more of a fresh fallen/powdery look, apply the wet snow texture first and then sprinkle the snow microballoons on it immediately after. As the first wet texture dries, it will hold most of the powder look. Another option i've used recently, and will be on the two videos i post in the next two days, is to apply the wet snow look, sprinkle the microballoons over it and let everything dry, and then go back in a few places and apply just a little of the watered down snow texture over the fixed microballoons. Most of it will look like fresh fallen snow, and there will be a little glossiness here and there and give it a more interesting appearance.
Thank you for the comment and visit! I love Krieg, but I also love the Cadians and the Catachans. I can't decide on one so I never went down that route now. I'm actually working on Elucidian Starstriders Killteam, and will have some Blood Angels or Thousand Sons coming later this year. Already bought them, just have to get to it. So long as you get the snow microballons on the wet snow texture quick enough, it will dry well.

As a new watcher this channel is a gem in the rough!
Thank you for the comment and visit! Always good to hear feedback, especially positive ones!
Lately, I have had trouble trying to make snow terrain and this simple but effective guide has given me immense help. Thank you for the upload, Jim!
No problem. Happy I was able to help and thank you for the comment!
That looks fantastic, man. Definitely going to have to try this.

Great video! Probably one of the best snow basing how to’s on UA-cam
Thanks for the comment and visit! Glad you liked the snow base.
Great video! Exactly what I was looking for and amazing looking results

Really nice effect that is straightforward to create

how would you do this base on a smaller base, say one for a Space Marine or trooper type unit?

Great video, heres a comment for the algorithm.
Is the snow shiny? Like christmas snow lmao serious question tho

About to use this for my Astra Militarum Krieg army. 😄

@ do you think it would stick well to other plastics? I want to add this effect to tanks, too.
