A different Santa ... somewhat shorter. :D
... could be an apprentice ... a treasure hunter ... or a mule?

I've reposted the links without Imageshack's extra wrapping... Hope this helps.

Those are really sweet PJ's on the dwarfs!

Stop using Imageshack, I guess?

With Imageshack I use the 'direct + full-size' links. That has always worked for me.

I don't know if this is helpful but I had loads of problems with imageshack and photobucket so have since started using postimage.org and haven't had any issues. It's much more basic but as an image hosting site it does what I want.

These guys are brilliant. I found myself wanting to do the same thing for snowy Frostgrave but I couldn't find anything I liked. You really did a fine job with these.

Lovely paint jobs on some classic miniatures there Harry. I hope to get some painting done tonight to try and finish one of my planned warbands..

You've assembled a wonderfully characterful warband. I am very fond of the old Citadel and Marauder dwarves. 

Very nice.

Do you have, like... EVERY model ever created in your collection or something? And you still paint at the speed of some very speedy monster. And stop selling yourself short, as your stuff is AT LEAST as nice as mine, but I think it is actually better! Awesome!!

Thanks fellas.

So you can't have Santa without Elves ....

So here are the Elves:

First the apprentice: (I convertion to give him a staff)

(http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800x600q90/633/pQimRt.jpg) (https://imageshack.com/i/hlpQimRtj)

Then in contrast to the Dwarf warband being predominantly Infantrymen ... I wanted the Elf warband to be largly archers.
(It makes them very dangerous in the game!)

I started with a bunch of old Jes Goodwin Elves ... with added fur trim:

(http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800x600q90/633/FYMIfV.jpg) (https://imageshack.com/i/hlFYMIfVj)

and added a selection of later edition Gary Morley Wood Elves:

(http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800x600q90/905/IyWAAm.jpg) (https://imageshack.com/i/p5IyWAAmj)

I have this guy as a ranger:

(http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800x600q90/633/o4tLRU.jpg) (https://imageshack.com/i/hlo4tLRUj)

These incude a couple of plastic minis one from the very first plastic warhammer armies box set and another from the 5th edition monopose ones:

(http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800x600q90/908/1tcVXX.jpg) (https://imageshack.com/i/p81tcVXXj)


... and here they are all together: (I think even though they are from different scultors and different editions they all come together nicely with a the same treatment)

It's just like looking out of the window here in Finland, the true and original home of Santa Claus (he lives in Korvatunturi). :)
