Just got home from family visits.
I don't seem to have received a Secret Santa package. Might have gotten lost in the mail?

Oh well. I hope the one I sent to enjoys their present. That's what matters.

Judging by the drawing I found in my package and the drawings on your blog I've been the lucky one you sent some fantastic miniatures too! ;)

For real, real great mini's! Will get a picture of the loot posted soon, so all the others can see how spoiled I've been! :D

I sent your Seccret S a pm to see what the status was/if they had a tracking number.

Will let you know as soon as I hear anything.

If you are the only one still waiting... I think we are doing pretty good!

Cheers!

Yeap. That's spot on (: Glad you enjoy it, and I hope you get good use out of the minis.

Thanks  :) Postage-snaffus do happen, so I am not too worried.
If thats the only complication, then we're doing good indeed.

........................Everybody reports here in the secret Santa thread when there gift arrives, and what it was, and after everyone gets theirs, we can "reveal" who we were the secret Santa too.................

Almost ready for the New Year and looking through this thread it seems only 13 people received something from Secret Santa. Did the other 11 where dissapointed in what they received or to shamefull for the great gift they got in comparison what they sent ;D (or were they just on holiday; family bussiness or simply didn't thought of it).

Hi all,

A little while ago I received my Secret Santa gift: a whole bunch of Back of Beyond Chinese  :-* :-*

I tried to take a picture and upload it, but after having thrown my pc out of the window in sheer frustration I decided to stop trying for today. I'll try again tomorrow.

Just as last year I really liked this Secret Santa. Count me in next year!

Cheers
Jase

New Year's day, so finally found a bit of time to take a pic :)

Thanks to my Secret Santa Dr Zombie, the below bunch of Fantastical Figures of Fame and Fury landed below my Christmas tree.

Amongst these thrilling characters one can probably distill a lovely bunch of ruffians, a Copplestone axewielding barbarian in the back, some really lovely Oldhammerish orcs and a paladin, a cool Foundry puff-and-slashes orcy bloke, and a very nice convention-only sculpt by Jakob R Nielsen in the front seat.

Lovely stuff, now to get the paint pots out :).
Thanks Santa!
(And apologies for the blurry figs in the background - nex year I'll ask for Taking Pics of Miniatures for Dummies :p.

I got a package today. I can't thank my secret Santa enough for actually going through the trouble of re-sending it, after it apparently got lost in the mail. And I am completely floored by the contents  :o A lot of good stuff I can't wait to get painting and playing with.



Inside was a very nice couple of cards, and a haul:



Opening up the bags revealed this bunch of goodies:



I shall endeavour to get them painted up in a timely fashion so they can hit the gaming table. Absolutely thrilled by all of these.

Oh, and as if that wasn't enough I also got a viking from Hasslefree:



Absolutely thrilled by these miniatures - They hit the mark perfectly. Great Kev Adams greenskins, characterful old citadel guys that'll be nice additions to some fantasy-warbands (I am actually working on a clerical/crusade themed one right now, so the flagellants will come in super handy. As will the norman dwarf) and a beastie in the form of the griphon! And to top it off, a HF-mini. Im a huge fan of Kev Whites miniatures, so thats absolutely perfect.

Warm (belated) holiday wishes and huge thanks to my secret santa, and to all of you.  (And to revfan for, again, sorting this out)

As it's time for revelations, so glad you liked them! I have zero idea what happened to the first package I sent - it might still be on an exciting adventure in a limbo between Finland and Denmark. With luck it will arrive one day (or is returned to sender), and you'll have a second set with different old lead :D Looking forward to seeing some of those painted!

Also, any suggestions to make it better next year???????

Well, myself and Chris Abbey drew each other.
We both figured out easily enough who our Santas were by the gifts sent.
 ;)
