Having seen Dave's army in person, I have to say his pictures do it justice.

Alright, so finally my secret projects revealed!

Warning if you like any of the following you may be offended by the proceeding pictures and text. You have been warned.

    Blood Bowl
    Squats
    The New England Patriots

So... this gag gift needs some background I guess. I have this friend named Chris. Chris hates Blood Bowl. In fact, most of our gaming group agrees that Blood Bowl is stupid. With that being the case I decided that a Blood Bowl themed gift would really be in the "spirit" of the season. But, I couldn't just get him a Blood Bowl team. He's already got all these Epic miniatures that would be utterly useless for it. The solution? Epic-scaled Blood Bowl!
Image

Now, my friend Chris, he also hates Squats (see the pattern here?). So, it goes without saying that the two teams for his Epic-scaled Blood Bowl field would have to be Squats. But, what colors to paint them? I was at a loss until Matt (Chris and my mutual friend) mentioned that Chris, being a Patriots fan, hates the NY Jets and the Indianapolis Colts just about as much as he hates Squats and Blood Bowl.

So, of course I painted him a Squat team in the colors of the NY Jets...
Image

And the Indianapolis Colts...
Image

Now granted, I'm a jackass (if you didn't know that already perhaps this post will have enlightened you to this fact) but I'm not so big of a jackass that this "gift of gifts" would be my only present to my buddy. So, begrudgingly, I also painted him up some "Spikey Bikes" in the colors of his Iron Warriors army.
Image

Image

Complete with yellow stripes I might add...
Image

The presentation of the gifts ended up being this past Saturday, and let me say that Chris was speechless... Mere words just could not express his feelings... :P

In other news, I've continued on with my other gag gift for the season: the penguins. Their bellies are done. I'll be painting their tuxes tonight.

Yep, they'll be laying siege to the parents' Christmas village this season. Pillaging presents, assaulting the elves with snowballs, etc.

Picked up their post-apoc packs, space demons and vacation aliens while I was at it. Very nice sculpts.

I've seen Space Hulk and I think that works great. 40k as well. If you divide all of 40k's ranges by 6 you can fit a 4'x6' table on an 8"x12" area. I'd still want to tweak the rules though. IGOUGO with no overwatch... ::)
