They look pretty scary to me, Derek. Especially those rather sinister gingerbread men...

They are a set from Alternative Armies. Cheaper for the set.

I haven't played HOTT for years now. Had forgotten all about it. My next HOTT army turned up today. Robo-Christmas. May have to fiddle with the figures per base rules a tad but all figures are christmasy and (except for the witch and anti-paladin) robotic. (That's what happens when xmas get automated).  Did you think the previous Army was an "evil" army? Will be old vs new xmas!

Got my eye on a few other HOTT armies right now.

Altertnative Armies - Carniverous plants, Dog soldiers.
Mike Yarrow - Inuit & polar bear(Trying to find armoured bears but no luck so far)


OK, I am trying to keep to non-mainstream type hehehe

I use AK terrains snow.

I opened the tub for the first time since I did my Fins about a year or so ago. Was set hard. Let some water soak into it. then mix it up and water it down till it is like stodgy paint and apply with a cocktail stick.  Works quite well I think.

I miscounted when ordering the figures so now have to wait for a delivery for another base of the "santa-bots"  :-\.   

Problem is I have 10 days until I fly to the US (COVID permitting). so will probably not be done before I get back in the New Year. Ah well, Maybe I can find out what the the Christmas folk do when its not Christmas. Maybe I should do an Easter Army to fight against them. I know Alternative Armies do some suitabler figures.#

Wearing their Easter bonnets, I hope, with rabbits like the frightener on the Watership Down poster.

Started working on the Barbarians now. Aiming to have enough for a C&K army with some fantasy elements to play them as HOTT as well. Piccies to follow once I have a couple of bases done.
