Very tricky …
Has anybody a tutorial/idea/tip how to create snow? :o
Then I have an appropriate idea!
:hashut
clam:
Look at Ishkur’s old Chaos Warrior Blog, perhaps.
But Baking powder and PVA should work, too.
Borador:
Loki also made a thread about this recently so that could help you as well!
Zanko:
Thanx guys! :hat off
I think I will manage it!

Pagarus:
Are we allowed to enter two different entries, ie. say one Chaos Dwarf one and a non CD one, since they wouldn’t go together in a duel/diorama?
Pagarus
Castellan:
Hm, can you reserve a spot for me? I would like to do this, maybe an Eldar model? Christmas theme, of course.

So feel free to post all the miniatures you do and find match the challenge theme.

Pagarus:
Yeah, I’m not promising anything with entering more than one, but if I had the time, I have quite an idea.
I do however have something I think I will be able to enter once I’ve painted it though.
Abecedar:
Finally had an idea for the mini, and now my brains running away with itself creating impossible dreams for the diorama.

Very tricky ...Someone on another site I visited asked for a idea on how to do snow bases. Well I cant take all the credit as in I didnt do any of this but I have used the method and tutorial myself to great results. I use the same method as Ninjabread but I havent known it fail yet to make awesome looking snow bases

There are several methods for making snow. Here is my method, which are steps taken from other people�?Ts ideas mixed with my own experiments. I use bicarbonate of soda as my �?~snow�?T because it has a nice glistening quality similar in appearance to real snow. You don�?Tt to get this from the GW snow scatter.
What you will need
Material
1. Baking Soda
2. Pollycell �?~No Sanding Pollyfila�?T
3. PVA Glue
Tools
1. Something to mix the stuff in
2. Something to mix with
3. Something to apply the mix with
Step 1
Mix some PVA and baking soda. The mix is about 50/50 in quantity. You will need to add water until the mix becomes �?~gloopy�?T.
NOTE - The mix needs to be watered down prior to adding the pollyfilla. If you don�?Tt the entire mix will be ruined as it turns into a big blob of rubbery type material.
Step 2
Add pollyfilla until the mix becomes a soft paste. It should be slightly wet. I normally find the volume of pollyfilla required is double what is already in the mixing pot, but it can vary depending on how much water has been added already.
Step 3
Apply mix to base or scenary as required. It is possible to form drifts with this mix.
Step 4
Cover snow with more bicarbonate of soda. Leave for around 5 minutes and then light tap of excess. Place figure to one side to thoroughly dry over night. Once completely dry further excess can be shaken off. I also use a dry brush to dust off any bicarbonate that has got stuck in awkward places.
Step 5
Varnish the model. This will secure any loose bicarb in place. Here is a objective marker that has been varnished with dull coat spray.
A word of warning. This method does not allow things to be glued on top of it. If you glue figures onto this mix once it is dried, it weakens the mix and the figure will come off with a big clump of snow attached to the base. To get figures standing on hard snow I would recommend glueing them to the base with spacers under their feet to allow the snow to be level with the bottom of the foot.

Borador:
Just a thought: where to get a 70 mm round base?
All I can find is 60 mm 
GRNDL:
As an extra tip to the above, if you want really clean/pure snow, add a TINY bit of light blue paint to the mix. Then, when its dried from the initial treatment, glue on another layer of bicarb soda on top. The blue from the base layer will come through in areas, giving it a nice translucent effect.

Great Herby, but sadly I can’t see them. Say something about “hotlink disabled”
clam:
Now I do 
Great entry, Harby

Here we go. The Brush Slave "White Christmas"
Who else but “Sanity Claws”. Winning yet another battle with a snowman!
Oooops.
clam:
What a spectacular entry, Abecadar. Fantastic job :hat off Really finish the BS '11 season with style :hat off
Borador:
Nice entry abecedar!
I’ve finished converting mine, gotta take some WIP pics and then I can start painting.
Blue in VT:
I actually have a figure now…just got to get down to work on it!
Blue
Abecedar:
@ Harby, That’s great “what do slaves do for Xmas”? Why keep working of course, What else would they be doing?
Until I started painting him (sanity claws) I didn’t realize all the things curling around everywhere were tentacle type thingies.
Now to concentrate on the Golden Hat effort and now I’ve found that the “Da Warpath” (you know that forum run by our potential slaves) has a comp’ due on the 6th January for a “Unit Filler” and I may have just the thing already as a WIP for it!
G.2:
@ Abecedar: Really nice entry. You have really lifted the bar on this one. The rest of us are going to find it hard to come up with something as nice. Job well done.
