I finally found some time to get the bases done. I painted up the rocks and the water, then applied a gloss varnish over the water and let that dry. Finally, I added some Vallejo water effects and I am pretty pleased with the result. I want to add a few patches of snow here and there but will wait until i have the models painted up and on there as i don't want to overdo it.
Next up i will be assembling the models and getting them primed up and ready for painting. I have also ordered the Warmachine starter set as it is probably one of the best value for money starter sets going and will give me a nice start up force for my Khador.
