I have NO idea where to post this, but I felt the subject kind of is of the 'Pulp' variety (could be 'Fantasy', though, admin is welcome to move if seen fit).
I am currently painting Mark Copplestone's St Nick and Lovely Assistant, and also bought the Evil Snow Goons, and now I find myself wanting to play some Christmas Wars games, for which I would like to get armed versions of Santa and probably some of his assistants and Elfs (I can always use some shady human henchmen fitting the setting for the opposition).
Now, I could buy another set of the above and convert with, for instance, some Pulp Figures weapons (I'd love a tommygun-toting Santa!), but if suitable models are actually available out there, I would prefer that option.
I have also seen GW W40K Gretchin converted into armed Elfs - but, again, I would prefer to buy actual themed models.
Any help on this would be great!

Argonor, what about a X-Mas version of the Battle of Hoth, in which the Evil Galactic Empire attacks Santa's Toy Factory in the North Pole? ;D

what about Lead Bones' Santa with shotgun and zombie elves found at http://recreationalconflict.com/cgi-bin/redirect.ha (http://recreationalconflict.com/cgi-bin/redirect.ha) on the Lead Bones main page here

Those very well done models. They are a bit too 'horror style' for the idea that I have, though, I probably should have been more specific on the 'family friendly' aspect. Thanks for the suggestion, though. :)

The Storybook Wars range is probably going to be my choice for this - the minis are a bit goofy, but they are close to my vision of playing 'save the holidays' scenarios with the kids (and maybe even my wife who is NOT a fan of strategy games).
I also like the idea of a final stand with the forces of evil besieging Santa's workshop, hmmm... this project suddenly threatens to grow beyond my initial plans and time frame... ::)
Thanks - I had no idea this range existed!
Is it possible to buy Victory Force models this side of the Atlantic?

Shotgun Santa is definitely going on the Nice List, thanks!

Also a possibility - some of the sculpts are a bit on the 'lazy' side, though. I might find a use for some of them.
Thanks!

I am painting up Santa and assistant atm, and did also purchase the Evil Snowmwn - I somehow missed the Pulp Santa, though - I shall probably get hin next time I shop Norts Star/Copplestoen products.

I don't seem to be able to find the Santa with Bazooka that used to be part of their range.
Thanks!

I knew I had seen something along those lines, somewhere. Thanks!

Argonor, they take Paypal and ship worldwide, but shipping can be a little expensive to Europe since they seem to prefer to use USPS. I suggest you to contact them and ask for alternative shipping options (such as DHL) and even if they have an European distributor. ;)

There were several more ranges, some quite large, for Christmas Wars-style games, but most manufactureres have gone out of business, sadly :(
Among them were Amazon Miniatures, Mega Miniatures, Cerberus Games, Brigade Games and Eureka Miniatures.
Single models still up for sale might be
Heresy (Fallen Santa)
Reaper (the traditional Sophie miniature "santafied")
Freebooter (Clockwork Santa)

I contacted them yesterday regarding a European/UK retailer, as DKK242 to get a blister of minis sent across the pond almost gave me a heart attack. I hope they respond tomorrow.
I like the range, and I am goint to check what sizes papermache/styrene deco balls come in, as I think I can mock up a sizeable army of snowmen with the aid of those, some greenstuff, and a good source of 28 mm weapons (yes, I need to find that source, but I know they are available out there!).

Thanks, some interesting choices, there - I had forgotten about the Sophie, mini - she actulally comes in all kinds of guises, suitable for other holidays as well :)

Argonor, I've found this old link to a very inspiring and fun X-Mas game: http://onemoregamingproject.blogspot.com.br/2012/01/annual-hawks-new-years-eve-party.html?showComment=1329307887176#c5739116486863983659 (http://onemoregamingproject.blogspot.com.br/2012/01/annual-hawks-new-years-eve-party.html?showComment=1329307887176#c5739116486863983659) ;)

Looks great! I'll give it a thorough read-through one of the next days (I think I shall be busy with preparations for our own little New Year party tomorrow).
