No battle report but some Dreadfleet pics

Welllll............ I was going to write my battle report today about my lil game against the Deathguard but it was reallllly hot today.

The hotness is relevant as my PC is in my bedroom which has no air con but my painting desk is in the lounge room right underneath the air con!

So instead of typing in the heat, I painted some water in the nice cool air.

These are the bases for the Kracken and the High Elf ship and dragon. I am going to see which turns out better then enter the best one in a painting competition in my local GW store this weekend. I'm hoping the elf ship will turn out awesome as I am going to do some colour transition wet blending on the sails.

I will write battle report in my lunch break at work tomorrow in the nice cool office.

40k Bases - Ice Bases

Sorry everyone but I really hate flocked bases, and I really dislike that grit people stick on.

One of my other base dislikes is that weird fluffy looking snow.

I guess if you are making a whole army quite quickly flocking and little rocks is really the best looking fastest way. I still don't like them.

So, since I am taking my time with my army construction/painting and since Space Wolves home world of Fenris is an awesome chunky ice rock, I figured I would use my skills to make some resin ice bases.

I did look around online and find a few ok snow/ice bases by they didn't have the icy glacial look I was after.

I am entering a Lukas the Trickster mini in a little painting comp at out local GW and thought it would be a good time to make the ice bases so Lukas could have an epic massive one.

I'm not sure if I should stick these to a normal black base or what next, but am so happy with how they turned out.

Any comments or suggestions?
