Guber Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 So I decided my army needed a visit from Santa to keep up moral. I chose Telion as the base since he has such a lovely moustache/beard combo, ready to be upgraded to a real beard. Here he is after some greenstuffing: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3039/3056729222_abaa189c2a_m.jpg And his finished gun: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3190/3056729310_105c35c606_m.jpg And one of his elf retinue: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3221/3055893489_9c0c72c291_m.jpg I also wrote up some rules while waiting for the elves... erm scouts to arrive in the mail. Santa & Retinue.................125points http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3243/3050951225_e6270aef3f_m.jpghttp://farm4.static.flickr.com/3278/3050951333_a5d8cc2f87_m.jpg (You might need to enlarge these using the option on the page if you can't read them.) I'm hoping to get the squad finished by 1st December so they can start handing out gifts to my troops as soon as possible.

Guber Posted November 24, 2008 Author Share Posted November 24, 2008 thats just great dude. and it actually looks like santa! and i like the elf scouts. how many are you going to make? I'll only be making four elves since Santa doesn't like to be too crowded. Also, greenstuffing any more elf shoes would drive me crazy.

Guber Posted November 25, 2008 Author Share Posted November 25, 2008 I have considered making a transport, but by the time its finished Christmas would probably be over. I'll see if theres still time once these are done. Oh yeah, first elf is painted. Still need to add snow to his base. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3282/3058719486_2753886dfb_m.jpg (Click for bigger) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/153084-its-nearly-christmas-update-santa-is-done/#findComment-1784935 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thraximus Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Hahaha, i love this. One quibble about your rules though. You say surviving models will be invited to the Christmas party, if those killed by Elfen helpers are automatically not invited, what happens? The rules seem to um, contradict themselves?

Guber Posted November 25, 2008 Author Share Posted November 25, 2008 Hahaha, i love this. One quibble about your rules though. You say surviving models will be invited to the Christmas party, if those killed by Elfen helpers are automatically not invited, what happens? The rules seem to um, contradict themselves? All models left on the table (from both sides) are invited to the Christmas Party. Models removed from play by Santa are also invited. Models removed from play by the elves are invited to the Christmas party on a d6 roll of 4+. ^_^ These rules might be amended once I'm finished modelling since there are probably errors. The heavy bolter for instance should be Hellfire shells not rounds, so if anyone sees anything else like that please let me know. The last thing we need is a rules dispute arrising over Santa at Christmas... :o Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/153084-its-nearly-christmas-update-santa-is-done/#findComment-1785164 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pig Of Sparta Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 :) damn those look good, and an amazing idea too, can't wait to see these guys finished, the shotgun elf near the top looks great.

Hellios Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 He should join forces with the Christmas Orks :), it would save him alot of work as they love bring 'Christmas cheer' as well.

captain kantor Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 it was a good idea to make them because you have no competition! i mean, you dont walk around in game stores and see people painting and greenstuffing their SM's to look like santa and santas little helpers. PS- to my fingers this was a long comment . PSS- it isnt a very good idea to play "through the fire and flames" on guitar hero 3 12 time in a row on expert . I feel really dizzy. ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/153084-its-nearly-christmas-update-santa-is-done/#findComment-1785343 Share on other sites More sharing options...
