LatD Big Mutants :P

Failing that, the Tuxedo Guard sounds like an excellent DIY SM chapter.

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!

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...

And the Indianapolis Colts...


Damn it! If I knew you were going to paint them as Jets and Colts, I would never have given you any squats. >:( Nice paint job, though.

I must thank Dave and captPiett publicly for the many gifts that I received. Dave and captPiett got together and bought/built/painted four formations of Chaos bikes for me. I knew that they were working on something but I was blown away by all that they did. They look way better than the four formations of primed (winter camo) oop Juggers that I was using as stand-ins. While I still can't stand Blood Bowl or Squats, I can appreciate the time and effort so thank you. Dave, know that when I get around to downloading the rules for Blood Bowl you will owe me a game - so what will it be? Jets? or Colts? Thanks guys again for everything. Oh, and thanks to Tim's Squats for making the gag gift possible...no seriously, thanks...a lot...when do I get to fight them again Tim?

I'm glad I could help.

As for playing against my Squats, now that I have the most current army list, I think you can look forward to them next time.

Well, the penguins are nearly done. All that's left is to base them and their snow balls with snow flock. After that a quick coat of varnish and they're ready to assault some elves.

Special thanks to Craig for the Squid Red and Penguin Foot Orange colors...

Image

Work on the High Elves for January's tourney is going well too. I've given 1/3 of the spearmen new spears using sewing pins.

Image

And my banner bearers have some Warhammer Dragon bits on them now too.

NEWS FLASH: We have received reports that a group identifying itself as the Penguins' Front of Antarctica (PFA) has seized control of the North Pole as of late last night. A group of some 30 Penguins have taken Santa's fully loaded sleigh, and elf hostages, and holding them at ransom.

Image

Details are sketchy at this point but the group's demands have been made public. They have demanded that thirty million pounds of mackerel be delivered in non-consecutive unmarked fish to the South Pole by the start of the new year or "the fat man gets it".

There is no word at this point on whether anyone has been hurt but a handful of elves are being held at snowball-point. Whether or not the PFA has Santa or one of his body doubles hostage is also unclear.

Image

An rail cart rescue attempt earlier in the evening has met with failure however as the PFA had iced over the Polar Express tracks in anticipation of the rescue attempt.

Image

It is unclear at this point of the relation between the PFA and the Antarctican Penguins' Front (APF) which was responsible for the polar bear cave bombs this past Novemeber. We will continue to keep you updated as the situation develops.

-----

Merry Christmas guys. :P
