First! Happy Christmas Eve!
Poor Rureg he has no friends, seems like @dignity needs to set him up on a play date.
Merry Christmas, another great year by the BOW team
My suggestion
A 40 K Ork, dressed up as the Grinch in a battlewagon in Christmas colours and tree lights.
Every year on Gripping Beast’s website they post of a photo of a custom mini that’s a viking converted into Santa. It’s great. I would like to do something like that.
My thoughts for Christmas themed figures would be:
– Kommander Sorscha as Mrs Christmas, one of my favourite Warmachine characters of all time (and my first warcaster)
– A Christmas themed Brewers team for Guildball, staggering out of the pub after a guild Christmas party.
Happy X-Mas Eve!!!
Blaine from Deadzone with a santa hat and on a jetbike pulled by a plagued up reindeer might be the most insane thing I can think of! LoL
@warzan look up the Quantum Computing where it relates to the Mandela Effect. It uses parallel dimensions to make computations and people think that’s causing it. Crazy stuff LoL
Happy Xmas 🙂 I’m building lots of terrain for 40k and Necromunda, also for the walking dead and Wild West Exodus. planning on painting that and starting to paint again. I’m currently setting up my workspace again and I’m also planning on streaming my painting on twitch. (I’ve a few other video projects this year going, and thought why not try if that works)
Oh also the miniature I’d like most for Xmas would be the Primaris Repulsor or the Primaris Redemptor Dreadnought. I actually got myself the Dark Imperium Boxset to hopefully get back into playing 40k after a break of almost 6 years.
At the start of the show I was waiting for one of you to say ‘you were lucky! We had to get up 4 hours before we went to bed, eat a handful of cold poison, work 36 hours and pay shop owner for the privilege’
Ha ha!!! Total missed opportunity lol
Merry Christmas everyone!
In 2018, I`ll start my Forces of Nature for Kings of War. As it will contain rather few modells, it should be finished by this time next year.
It’s Christmas Eve Sunday!
Today I shall be mostly eating Christmas cake…
… while mostly painting my KD:M Phoenix – although I really should wait for those new paints I should be getting tomorrow (Warcolours transparent set).and making up some more survivors.
So it’s Gravity B that does things like keep one’s feet on the ground? That’s reassuring!
I would like to see Wyrd’s Malifaux ‘The Carver’ adapted into a Nightmare before Christmas Jack – to run with (rather than against) the Stitched Together boogeymen. Mixing tbings up I know but sod it…
@warzan You reckon there’s only 3 ‘flaws’ with the UFOs you were describing?
An unidentified flying object program does not mean an alien program!
Happy Christmas guys and thanks for another entertaining year. 2018 I’ll be getting a lot of Mythic Battles and KD:M in with the family. We’ve restarted KD the week with the new edition and are just about to take on the Butcher (He wiped the floor with us in our previous game). Mythic Battles only arrived a couple of days ago but it’s already cemented in as one of our favourites now, my only regret is not having the cash to grab everything while the kickstarter/pledge manager was running. Painting wise I’ll be starting the year with my Veer-myn for… Read more »
Love to see a 40k Necron Lord in canter red and white with a sack over his shoulder full of scarabs.
Wasn’t Gravity B in the Spice Girls?
Well that year certainly went quick. For 2018 (fingers crossed) I’ll be releasing my first resin miniature through hysterical games (ain’t holding me breath though).
I have worked for a year in a call centre and in Sainsburys on Xmas Eve.And yes its always ‘your’ shift you have to do it. Bloody awful it was to, My experiences have have now led me to the theory that retail staff should be allowed to tell the customers to f**k off and shop elsewhere as 99.9% those buying goods especially at Christmas are complete twats
we should be allowed a purge day once a year on Christmas eve, where we can say anything ^^
2018 could be the year of Napoleonics but again probably not. More likely to be the year of Rommel and a 6mm Hittite army. Maybe some paper armies to
How about a Christmas-themed Seamus from Malifaux. Seamus himself as Santa, his Belles done up as elves, Madame Sybelle done up as Mrs Claus? Would not want that one down your chimney.
Merry Christmas everyone!
I think i will build a little diorama, that shows a scene of the Christmas peace from 1914. Maybe a scene where supplies are exchanged (the exchange of beer and Christmas Puddings).

Great Video again and a big thanks and Merry Christmas from me to all.
As for christmasifying a mini, I’m going for Mortarion.
Paint him in jolly red with a white cloak, and paint his wings in a pale blue-white like fairy wings. Swap his gun out and model a present in his hand reaching out, while the other hand take off the scythe head, and model a big santa sack dangling down instead.The kind full of presents, obviously.
But you ask for a character. I would convert ludo from labyrinth into a proper Santa, with a santa hat, a big sack full of gifts and snow in his fur.
Just want to say a merry christmas and a happy new year to everyone on the site.
I think for me the model I would like to make a festive version of is Orsus Zoktavir, Lola and with his little pups because he already has the barrel shaped figure. Maybe something a little happier for what is actually a rather dark figure.
Happy Xmas all.
The beginning of 2018 will be a lot of Mythic Battles and painting KDM.
After that playing KDM and for the rest I will see what passes along.
And I hope that it will be a good year of hearing Warren rambling on in the weekenders, it is always so interesting.
