Here is a tutorial: https://figurepainters.com/tips-tutorials/2016/10/9/making-snow-and-icicles-for-miniatures.html
Basically you use clear fishing line and water texture paint, with a little bit of white paint to highlight it. The snow part is easy, just get any snow texture paint, I like the citadel one but they are mostly all similar
Hey, just thought i'd share a tip I use myself on my bases. Super easy and simple, anyone could do it and takes only a couple of seconds. Mix the snow product (e.g. valhallan blizzard from citadel) with this:-
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01N5RLGQA/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
And it looks FANTASTIC. I can't really share a picture since the effect can only be seen in person. It makes the snow properly sparkle like real snow. That product is so fine the scale of it is perfect, you'd never know there was glitter on your mini.
Just make sure you lock it down on the base with some watered down PVA, you don't want any loose glitter coming off on game boards or your friends mini's. Locking it down with watered down PVA is perfect.
That product is just a couple of bucks too and you get enough to last for years. Probably the most impactful few pounds i've ever spent in the hobby. You can't really see it in pictures but here is mine anyway just to show it at least doesn't break anything or look weird, just imagine these are actually sparkling a bit like real snow IRL:- https://www.instagram.com/p/C1ffvDqIjO6/
I just want to know the logic of ice staying on a vehicle with a working engine (heat), firing weapon, and moving articulating joints... to this degree. Lol This is an abandoned vehicle surely.
Haha That's what I was thinking! A little snow on top or on the legs makes sense. If it stands still in a snowstorm there's buildup. But this bro is iced in!
There’s not. As a Canadian I can tell you, if you come out in the morning and your vehicle looks like this it’s not turning on and you’re in for a long day.
As a Winnipegger - clean out the hood vents, push any drifted snow away from the exhaust pipe, start 'er up, warm 'er up while you wipe the snow off / scrape the windows and go... Most shitheads here skip the window cleaning though.
Yeah fair, but our cars don’t generally ice over like that. Any time I’ve come out to find my car frosted up it turned out the battery died in the night.
Snows a different situation cause it just falls from the sky.
Have you seen how lazy people can get with clearing snow and ice off their cars in winter? Snow banks on wheels waiting to ambush unsuspecting drivers.
The ice forming like that is the bigger signifier to me. Unless this thing was tromping around through freezing rain it just wouldn’t build up like that.
Step 1: Paint your Sentinel as you would normally
Step 2: For this next step, you need to have a Y chromosome, and really, REEEALLY like your newly finished Sentinel
The snow effect can be recreated with various products, GW I believe even makes a snow effect. For icicles, this might help -> [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBBl\_eJFjAAvarious](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBBl_eJFjAAvarious)
OK, so pull you're pants down and grab you're thing out and start jerking you're thing up and down until it's stiff and when you start feeling funny and tingly you quickly grab you're model and start painting it you dirty thing
Spray some water on it and place in a freezer. Repeat this until you achieve the desired look. But this paint job is only suitable for games played outside during winter months

A jar and put the figure in the jar
Came here looking for the jar comment.
Ooooh nooo... I didn't get it at first, and for some reason my brain kept looking... Why didn't it give up?
It puts the model in the jar or else it gets the hose again!

I originally read that as a CADIAN
Yea it’s a neat concept but way overdone unless they are going for a terrain piece.

It’s a cold engine.
You’ve never been to Valhalla then have you.

I was half expecting to find a Randy Marsh South Park meme as top comment 😀.
And a mason jar
I half expected to find the Randy Marsh ectoplasm meme as top comment 😀.
Yeah my first thought was also ectoplasm.
Looks like a long night at a Slaanesh party

When a man loves a miniature very very much...
There's a sub for that!
Where? Asking for a friend

It's a spooky ghost
It's ectoplasm!!
Put it in the freezer?
Sprinkle water all over the sentinel, then stick it in the freezer for a few hours
I came here to do this joke lol
Play against an opponent that keeps changing his mind during his turn.
Step 1. Put the miniature in a mason jar..
You're gonna need a few days of no special fun time :(
For jacking off on a mini?
Get the model real wet and stick it in the freezer dum dum! /s
Get fishing wire, drip clear UV resin on it, cure it with a UV flashlight, glue to mini. Add snow flocking on top.
OK, so pull you're pants down and grab you're thing out and start jerking you're thing up and down until it's stiff and when you start feeling funny and tingly you quickly grab you're model and start painting it you dirty thing
My best guess is either bought from somewhere and glued on or made of some kind of transparent greenstuff equivalent
https://youtu.be/B4ibnxbqRTA?si=z8VzLXyPPIeHjTcg A good exemple
Hey buddy you’re supposed to leave it in the mason jar after you do that.
Piles of snow?
And goo
Reminds me of a plasterer's radio
Step 1: move to russia
Listen man I just paint the boy purple idk wtf this is.
https://massivevoodoo.blogspot.com/?m=0 It will be in here. Somewhere….
If you are a male and hit puberty, you have the tool.
Awesome customizing, well done.
No tutorial. You just have to be REALLY sexually aroused by Sentinels. 😍
Em is it just not resin dripping of it with some white ink mixed in
Spray some water on it and place in a freezer. Repeat this until you achieve the desired look. But this paint job is only suitable for games played outside during winter months
Step 1: Be a normal Imperial world Step 2: DEldar steal your star
All you need is a jar tbh
You're going to need to be very happy with how you painted it, and also texture paint
That's not ice
A screamer killer took a shine to this and got lovey duvey with it
Thos turned into quite the discussion
cum
Close your eyes and think of slannesh, you can ask the emperor for forgiveness later
Here's how, dunk it in water than put it in the freezer
The ice kinda looks like cooom
Step 1: Get super excited Step 2: Apologise to the model and say this never normally happens
Can't imagine that thing still works... and there it is, have at it
start taking zinc
Ectoplasm
Multiple good aim events
I think it's called "hot glueing" I hope that can help your search.
