I'll show mine.

Santa sent me a box of new Pulp figures - including a bevy of female characters (looks like a League of Ladies is in the future!).

Thanks Santa!

That is an awesome gift!

Every year, Santa seems to play with a couple of the gifts so they don't get delivered on time... (that is code for: Some of these gifts are crossing borders or continents... )

If you don't get something by Friday, PM me and I will check with your Santa to see if there is a tracking number.

Until then, post what you got!

Thanks Santa!!  I must have been a good boy this year to receive such an awesome gift!!  Even the packaging, removal and build instructions are a work of art.  This is the second year I have participated and I'm blown away by the generosity and skill of the secret Santas.  Looking forward to next year!!  Merry Xmas One and All.

Thank you secret santa. Perry N American farmhouse and some 28mm figures that will be useful when I get to my AWI skirmish project.





First year doing this, will definitely participate again next year

Can you show us what you got? :D

As per request...  :D



From top left to right:
Candy!
Dice bag (self-made!) (+ cool-looking dice!)
Reaper sci-fi lady
Stormcast (I think, these guys are big:o)
The white chaps in plastic bags are Reaper orcs (coincidentally I was actually planning to get some orcs for Sellswords and Spellslingers but it seems like I'm set now  :) )
The big guy beside the dice is a Mantic 1st Generation Plague Mutant (a lot bigger than I thought from Mantic's pictures, and also something I'd been planning to get - coincidence?)

Under the bag, left to right:
2 Alkemy Khaliman Republic minis
Orc pin!
Space Marine (assuming he's a Primaris one and he shall become a big brother to my normal marines)

I really have no idea what I'm doing.

A huge 'Thank You!' to my Secret Santa, who sent me some Celts and Egyptian stuff for OGAM, a quirky little sci-fi fella, and best of all, some handmade posters for my Mordheim-style set-up (which I will post pics of when I add them later this week: Very amusing and equally thoughtful!).

Thank you, Santa!

And another huge 'Thank You!; to Revfan for organising the whole thing. Again!
Cheers!
 :D

Thanks Santa. Lovely collection of vintage Mithril and OOP LOTR metal characters to add to my collection - and as my Secret Santa pointed out one of the Hobbits could also represent Tyrion - I’m thinking the Pippin mini in Gondor armour would be best :)

Thanks Revfan for another fun round :)

It's incredible how spoiled I am by santa; I got lots of stuff!
Some Perry agincourt sprues, a box of GW skeletons and some other unsead sprue (I think it may be nightvault) and a few DnD sprues.

Many thanks Santa!! ( if the shipping price sticker on the package was correct, I think I should compensate you)

Unfortunately I did not got my pack yet, though I'm not surprised. Our postal service is err... subpar, especially during the holidays.  :-I

It seems the one intended for me is lost in transit... or comes with snail mail  :)

Thanks Revfan for organising this.  The event seems to have been a success again.  It would have been nice to see more pics of peoples goodies, but I'm sure we can imagine the best gaming presents ever   :D

Please can we do it again next year?  Maybe with a bit more notice as it was a real scramble trying to find a suitable gift in the short time frame available.

Thanks!!
