Narrative:

During climb while in icing conditions; the following messages posted: ice cond - a/ice inoperative (warning); wg a/ice fail (caution); stabilizer a/ice fail (caution). The QRH directed the crew to exit and avoid icing conditions. The crew determined that an immediate return to ZZZ was the safest course of action. We [advised ATC] and returned to ZZZ. Discrepancy was entered into the aml.unknown what caused the a/ice fail.there isn't much training in the sim surrounding non-engine related emergencies. I would suggest that more time in the simulator; or more scenarios with situations like this are added to the training curriculum.
