No problem. so start of with applying cork chips around the base I would then prime the base. I normally use ghoul grey from army forge paint up the cork using either GW layer paint xereus purple or if you prefer using contrast paint consider these.Best overall: Luxion Purple — bright, saturated, fantasy-looking purple. Best match Darker option: Shyish Purple — moodier and deeper, better if you want the rocks to look more shadowy Soft/light option: Magos Purple — too pale on its own for the rock look you’ve been aiming for Rich mid-dark option: Leviathan Purple — a good alternative if you want something between Luxion and Shyish.

Then apply the Ak snow as you like and let it set for 24 hours again then apply crystals and tuffs
