Axis & Allies miniatures Winter War terrain WIP

This terrain is going to show you step by step how I'm doing my winter war gaming terrains for Axis & Allies miniatures.

Graves, crypts, creepy trees and statues

Materials used

Plaster cast in mold (statue, tombstones, wall on the background)

Cardboard (Crypt walls and roof, bases, thinner obelisk parts)

Camp site attack!

Snow-covered gaming terrain

Having often seen use, this terrain can be used in almost any genre and world; Marines invading arctic base of an evil mastermind, friends of Drizzt adventuring in Icewind Dale, An icy planet to be explored...
