It's in! Thanks and Merry Christmas.

As a side-note - we need more USA LAF'ers participating. Dentatus (Massachusetts) and I (Ohio) were each other's Secret Santa. lol So all you southern-tier North Americans, mark your 2016 calendars!

Elbows: I'm hoping that's not "never" but rather "haven't yet". There's a reason our Volunteer Santa Wrangler was nudging folks politely to get the move on...

Thanks, Dentatus!



So, the standing guys are West Wind (and I'm hunting their website to find 'e,). From which MFG/line are the 'downers'? I've seen the dwarf with the chainsaw before, but I can't recall where.

Yep, got a note that it's been delayed on its way to the sender, so no big deal.   :)

I know for a FACT that yours is on the way!   lol


Lastly, I should have been a little more clear in my intro, but the Secret Santas didn't have to go out and buy something brand new.  Most of us are sitting on several kilos of minis that we will never get around to painting... or just one or two that you have already painted.  Again, its about the giving, and fun.  Don't stress out about it.

Awesome. Sauce.

1) The chap who sent this took the time to actually look through some of my posts!
2) I got a minotaur which is a sculpt I've never seen and it looks pretty damn awesome (after disliking my current minotaur and buying a replacement which was equally as "bleh!"!!!)
3) Space marine heads...Mk6 in fact, something I'd just spent too much money on ebay buying ---- and still didn't have enough!

Even threw in a lovely human fighter figure with a minotaur head.  This is fantastic.  Now, just have to feel no pressure to do a great paintjob on the minotaur...(beads of sweat)

Thanks! :-*

The mailman had a Christmas gift for me yesterday! Tore open the envelope and what did I see...



Never heard of these miniatures, so that's always an awesome surprise. They will be perfect Pulpy robots for Pulp Alley (a Robot gang for a megalomane scientist).

Thanks Santa!! :-*
