      Black prime. Drybrushed with a sky blue craft paint. Added a lot of snow made from Woodland Scenics snow powder + PVA glue + white craft paint that’s been stirred together. Initially sponged it on the edges, then came back and slopped on thick layers where appropriate. The blood is Tamiya X-27 Clear Red.

      Pretty simple. Important concepts are to put a little blue in snow bases (some people will wash the snow itself with thinned blue wash or ink), and to never apply just straight snow powder when trying to make thick snow.
