Secret Santa & Santa Clause ideas???


Civilian Party


North Star's new Civilian Party

So as you may have guessed I've joined both Secret Santa jollies this year, I've noticed on a few blogs some wishlists, so I thought I'd put a few ideas down myself.
Most things on my list are for my Donnybrook excursion with a little bit of 15mm thrown in for good measure!! The list is in no particular order..........

WLOA21 William of Orange and Patrick Sarsfield

WLOA23 William of Orange vignette

2 Personality packs from Warfare Miniatures

OR

Dixon Miniatures Grand alliance Rebels Codes GA12, 13 & 14 all with Farm Implements

Essex Miniatures pack - BRO71 European Armies: Musketeers in Long Coat & Wide Brim Hat,

 without Apostles: At ease, musket at 45 degrees

OR
If you don't fancy any of that lot, any 25mm Civilians from the period 1650 to 1750ish or 15mm or 25mm wagons!!

Thanks Mr Santa!

    Don't listen to him Santa. What he really needs is a 28mm Goblin from Red Box Games. It's in the price range AND it looks just like him http://red-box-games.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=17&products_id=131

      Ya, I remember those. That's what brought this to mind. Can you imagine how hard it must be for the Missus to roll over in the morning and actually see that lying in bed next to her?

      Well did the Secret Santa arrive on time? I had no way to track it - Not too mention the overseas postage was a killer - Next year I think I will simply go through a UK distributor as much as I enjoyed painting up what is in the envelope. I got in the general vicinity of the 1750s. Although I think the Headless horseman from Alternative armies would have made you a neat Hessian officer. We have a stateside TV program called Sleepy Hollow short version Ichabod Crane is a Rev soldier tied to the Headless Horseman through a spell his witch of a wife cast and they have all emerged in 21st century Sleepy Hollow still fighting (demons and such included) Well maybe next year. Happy Christmas and all that.

      Yep, my package arrived safe and sound, although I've not opened it yet. I'm sure that series is on over here in the UK, but I've not seen it. Did yours arrive?

      Uh no have not seen it yet - But have not been to my PO BOX for about two weeks will check it tomorrow while i am out doing errands. Glad to know the package arrived - Was not sure what you wanted so i "guessed"- Fraid I missed your posts on suggestions maybe next year.

      Hey Monsieur Ray your BOX has arrived and such a BIG BOX it was and here I was trying to keep shipping cost down on my end (you must have an in with your local ROYAL Mail in the UK) Because its one of the few things under my tree that I did not buy for myself I am waiting 3 days later til my Birthday on the 28th or maybe the day before for my Birthday Convention on the 27th in case its something immediately usable for the games I am hosting. Regardless what it is It was quite fun getting a Mystery gift in the mail. I hope you enjoy yours as much! Regards Monsieur General L'Coup

      Don't get too excited about the size of the box, I just wanted what's inside to stay in one piece. Hope you like it!

      I did it was a FANTASTIC PAINT JOB -- How were the three wise men for you? I was amazed at the price for shipping to the UK about the same but the differential in package size was amazing. I might commission you for my Hessian Sleepy Hollow figure in the British redcoated headless horseman complete with pumpkin! At least I can have unpainted one shipped to in the UK LOL

    12. Ray Rousell31 December 2014 at 03:16

      I did try and order the Sleepy Hollow figure for you, but the postage was ridiculous, considering they are also in the UK, £5 for 1 25mm figure!!! I'l paint him up for you if you send me him, no probs and the 3 wise men were great thanks.

      Ok Ray you like a certain type/period of figure which does make this list very restricted. But I hope you get what you want.

    I suppose it all depends if you've been a good boy this year Ray - as we all know Santa won't be impressed if you haven't. ;)

    Here's hoping your Secret Santa is not so secretive that he doesn't get to you. - You aren't on the naughty list are you ?
