This was a fun one. The client wanted us to do an ice effect for the bases. We’ve done snow a million times, but never anything to suggest someone walking over cracking ice. So, did some research and these cool tutorials online:
From there, we did our own thing. For the ice, we found a tip on using tempered glass. Tempered glass is what they use to make phone protectors. You can break it and not cut your fingers on it.
We showed the client both tempered glass and acrylic versions, and he went for the glass:
We also did some oil washes to bring out the detail. This worked quite well on the lettering on the armor.
NMM isn’t part of our normal offerings, but the client asked if we could give him some fancy-looking blades. It was an extra charge, but I think it worked out quite well!
These were done to Exhibition Quality.

Paintedfigs is a miniature painting service. You can send us your figurines to paint, and we also have painted miniatures for sale. We paint mainly Games Workshop (Warhammer 40k, Warhammer Fantasy, Age of Sigmar, Necromunda, Space Hulk, Bloodbowl, and so on), Star Wars, Warmachine and Hordes, and pretty much every Kickstarter and board game under the sun.
And we do so at the lowest rates on Earth (we’ve checked).
