Snow bases?
Right. 'Tis might have been posted earlier, but how do you do snowy bases? I bought my first box o' dryads, and I have no idea how to base them.
What do you recommend?

All I do is base it with sand and spray white.

the lost glade, we're like... the bar you go to after work. We relax and have a bunch of contests and fun atmosphere, while still being a touch serious
In case you don´t like GWs versions (like me), you can use baking soda mixed with pva glue for a nice snow effect. Just make sure to use slightly more pva glue than baking soda, as otherwise the paste gets too hard and not sticky enough.
It looks more or less like the number four type on the gw article, I just don´t want to buy extra snow flock if I can get the same look with baking soda and a little glue.
For an example you can look at the finished part of my beasts: http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a119/ ... 1small.jpg

the asrai are the cunning,
the asrai are the sly,
the enemies are running,
but slowly they all die!
