This round for update took a little while longer. I got the cracle paint that I ordered and finished my spirit hosts. I think I might post a step-by-step tutorial for the ice effect later on, but here are "The Drowned"
Super cool idea! The ice turned out a little dark though and it clashes with the snow too much in my opinion. First I thought those are boxes/coffins hidden under the snow. Still, it's awesome! 
@Borgnine the idea is that there's water under the ice, that's why I chose to go with a bit darker scheme. I will make 3 bases more with more snow and smaller cracks (and with zero spirit hosts in fact) to tie the unit together more. I will then look if it still stays too dark. I'm a big fan of heavy contrasts myself so it might be that it won't be changing too much, though.
So for the step-by-step tutorial for the ice, it's here:
1st put some saran wrap dabbed in PVA glue on the bases
2nd, paint the wrap with dark green, highlights dark blue. Then cut small pieces of transparent sheet or plastic and glue them on the wrap.
3rd, basecoat the sheets with light blue tone
4th, apply the cracle paint. I used Faded Jeans Distress cracle paint by Ranger
5th, to prevent it from breaking in tabletop use, apply a layer of water effects or watered down PVA glue to protect the cracle paint. This is also a good time to paint some detail on the cracks after the water affects have dryed.
6th, finishing touches. Add more ice sheets, snow, whatever and finish the tones and shading and highlights.
Washes work great with the Ranger Distress cracle paint since putting a heavy layer of paint produces really big cracks.

Well, I don't plan to be making anything ice-related any soon, but both the tutorial and the final effect are very nice indeed
