w00t! Fantastic! You'll only need some Mountains of Madness and you're set.

These Mountains of Madness?  http://www.rpgnow.com/product_info.php?products_id=50183&affiliate_id=136550 

Seriously though - the terrain kicks serious butt and I love the mammoth and your painted minis!

[Breten]

That worked out fantastic, I can't wait to play on it.  Guess I should make a new list up.  Gonna have to pull out my Murch Savage Seas guys.

Suggest pink stain in the snow around the mamoth bones? Would add a bit of nervous factor to the discovery, and being that its dead in the artic, the cold would preserve more of the aftermath of the kill?

Just a thought

Nah its LONG dead so no need.

[Uncle Mike]

Agreed! Now I need to finish my summoning pool/portal thing and get a few bases of trees done...then some cyclopean ruins? if I have time...

this version of the mammoth skeleton as masterfully modeled here  ,
represents the animal died on the ground and being scavanged, and only afterwards being covered by the snow, enclosed into the glacier and transported to the sea.
Otherwise it would have been almost entirely preserved an mummified, as many examples discovered show

wonderful Idea and execution, thx for sharing

You definitely have to give Mike some major credit on this one.  The weather has been absolutely miserable here for the last month (albeit shaping up well today), and rather than try to escape it with thoughts of warm beaches or tropical jungles, Mike sets himself to constructing snowy wastes.  I'm not sure if that constitutes incredible resolve or self-flagellation, but either way is worthy of our regard!

Guess this means it's time to get the bases done on my Polar Explorers (which I've been avoiding due to my weak-minded desire to not think about snow).

Or, maybe it was what had inspired him.

[Wirelizard]

Yeah, faced with a winter like Cowtown has been going through, I´m not sure I could face arctic terrain in the workshop as well as outdoors!

Looks great, regardless!

"Seems we've made a discovery, my fellow, and lady."

(add suitably chilling plot here)

Question on the Thing from under the ice, did you have to heat / pose the larger tentacles? or did they flare out like that? Recieved one in the mail today and its tentacles are all conformed to its head like its about to yell "Duck" !

I'm new to the board, just returning to minis after a looonnggg absence. I've been so tempted over the past two months to put together a set of (ant)arctic minis, dogsled and all. But I couldn't think of what I'd do with them. Mountains of Madness weighed heavily on my mind. As did, for some reason, Scott of the Antarctic and the Giant Electric Penguin.

This is much better. Thanks to all in this thread for solving that dilemma!
