Grimstonefire:
Random idea I had for those who are making their bases with lava effects, why not add some volcanic ash on the ground parts?
It would look like very large snow flakes, so you’d need to find a suitable product. You might be able to get away with snow products, but possibly you’d need a slight grey tinge to be realistic.
I was thinking the other week it’s a shame you don’t see many winter themed CD armies, but this would sort of be as close as people might get whilst keeping the dark lands theme.
Of course to be ultra realistic you could put some flakes on the models themselves, in the beards as well.
Bassman:
It’s a nice idea but I think it would be very difficult to make them easy to recognize. I can imagine it being confused with simple dust, or rock fragments, being more or lessthe same color and consistency.
About winter chaos dwarfs, yes it would be extra cool. I can imagine the Northern part of our empire and the highest peaks covered with snow, expecially during winter season. It would be cool to see our warriors struggle with snow, there would be also cool effects looking at snow melted by fire and lava from our sorcerers and machines of war…
Who knows, maybe somebody read this post…
Grimstonefire:
That’s the good thing about doing it as ash. Snow would melt so far from how close to lava you’d have on models it wouldn’t be realistic. But ash could be quite close and not melt.
Plus being whitish it would look a bit like winter.
I did something a bit similar, but this was snow not ash
Kera foehunter:

Cool minis here! The problem with ash is to make it clearly recognizable as ash and not snow.
About realism... well Warhammer is not really... realistic... expecially if we assume that dwarfs are able to walk on lava fields! :o
