Compare Winterfall Forest Trees and Snowy Ice Fields for winter tabletop terrain. See which snow scenery for wargames fits your table and play style.
Quick answer
Choose Winterfall Forest Trees if you want vertical cover and a dense, snowy woodland look; choose Snowy Ice Fields if you need open, difficult ground with scattered cover and area templates. Many winter tables benefit from both, but start with the one that fills your biggest gap.
What each set actually gives you
Winterfall Forest Trees is a tree-focused set: one large trunk, two medium trunks, a fallen tree, a broken tree, and two stumps, all painted with a light dusting of snow. It creates a woodland footprint rather than a flat area.
Snowy Ice Fields is a ground-focused set: five winter rocks, three snowy bushes, and two neoprene area templates depicting rocky ground frosted with snow. It is built to mark uneven, difficult ground and provide scatter cover.
The vertical-versus-horizontal trade-off
Trees block line of sight and give models something to hide behind at height, but they also eat up table space and can make a board feel crowded. The Winterfall set leans into that vertical presence with multiple trunk sizes and fallen or broken pieces that break up a clean forest silhouette.
Snowy Ice Fields spreads outward instead: the templates define an area of rocky, uneven ground that is difficult to cross, while rocks and bushes scatter across the table for cover and hiding places. That makes it easier to shape movement lanes without stacking tall pieces.
When the decision is really about table space
If your table already has dense buildings or hills, adding a full tree set can tip the board into clutter. Snowy Ice Fields is the lower-profile choice because the templates lie flat and the rocks and bushes are small scatter pieces.
If your table is mostly open ground, Winterfall Forest Trees adds the verticality and hiding spots that a flat board lacks. The trade-off is that you get no area templates and no ground-marking pieces in that set.
Trade-offs to weigh before you buy
- Cover style: Winterfall Forest Trees gives vertical cover through trunks, a fallen tree, and a broken tree; Snowy Ice Fields gives low scatter cover through rocks and bushes plus area templates for difficult ground. Pick the cover style your scenarios call for most often.
- Table footprint: Trees take up more visual height and can crowd a dense board; the neoprene templates and small scatter pieces in Snowy Ice Fields lie flatter and are easier to fit around existing terrain. Measure your open table space before committing to a full tree set.
- Ground marking: Only Snowy Ice Fields includes area templates for rocky, uneven ground; Winterfall Forest Trees has no templates and focuses entirely on tree pieces. If you need to define difficult ground, the tree set alone will not do it.
