You can't buy these figures at the moment... but we had them painted anyway!

OK I am looking to get some fun Santa/Chrismas figures and Terrain. Just wondering what people have found out there.

Right now I have found the following.
Brigade Games – Gnomes
Eureka USA – Toy Soldiers
Foundry – Santa's (Most if not all are OOP)
Copplestone – Santa/Helper and Evil Snowmen.
Heresy Miniatures – Two Santa miniatures (one Evil and one good)

This company looks interesting
Amazon Miniatures – Santa Claus Gang

I found a few other companies that make Christmas figures, but they aren't as impressive as the figures listed above.
Wargames Supply Dump – Santa Claus Wars
Team Frog – I found their Christmas miatures a little high based on their quality.

I haven't a clue who might make good resin christmas type terrain. I was at a Christmas store this weekend and found a cool resin building.

I am Looking for the FreeBooter Santa Robot.

WizKids also did a clockwork MageKnight Santa robot as a promotional item.

Shadowforge does a Christmas Special mini every year – usually a young lady whose scanty dress is somehow Christmas related – but I think that they may be 35mm.

I have an evil Santa that was made by Target Games or Excelsior Entertainment – one of the Warzone rights holders, anyway.

GZG makes a female Santa's helper elf, and a young woman done up as a Christmas present.

I've got a couple of other female Santa's helpers that I think were from the CoolMiniOrNot shop.

Have a search on the message boards for reindeer and you should come up with a thread discussing availability in 28mm from a week or so back.

If I pull my finger out, I will this year adapt some GW Night Goblin fanatics for Christmas use, by converting them so that they are spinning Christmas puddings around.

Head to WalMart, Michael's, Ollie's Big Lots, Dollar Tree, etc.
They have plenty of Christmas Village type stuff, with snow covered trees, buildings in all scales, etc.
They also have bare trees, snow mats, snow covered hedges and walls, etc.

Woodland Scenics also has "snow" flocking, in large shaker containers.

The reindeer I was thinking of are by Company B and can be found here: link

Hasslefree makes a Christmas Mrs. H (based on Sally White) and a Santa's Helper (based on one of their daughters I think) complete with elf outfit.

Reaper made some Christmas versions of Sophie the Succubus. There were 2 in 28mm (or Heroic 25mm), one of her kissing a snowman and another of her slipping down a chimney with a bag of goodies. They also made a 75mm version in a skimpy Mrs. Claus outfit.

There was a MageKnight evil snowman one year, it had a point cost that meant it couldn't be used in normal games, so those who have one might part with…

A friend of mine runs a Warhammer "Save Santa" game every year for the Iron Fist League ironfistleague.com . The last two have been for Warhammer Fantasy and you can see photos here: link

There are also photos from the 2004 game in the 2004 Archive section of the gallery.

We mostly use Christmas village stuff as terrain, which works very well. Players get bonuses if they dress up their army in some way for the holidays. The two teams also had to each sing a Christmas carol – the winners received a bonus as well.

The entrance fee for the game was a gift for Toys for Tots.

This year's game is for Warhammer 40K, so it should look rather different. :-)

We have just added a few items to our Santa Claus Gang. Most important addition being the Reindeer. I still have to finish painting the sample for the photo though!

Hasslefree makes a Christmas Mrs. H (based on Sally White) and a Santa's Helper (based on one of their daughters I think) complete with elf outfit.

I might be wrong but I thought "Mrs H" was a limited edition. Which really teed me off because I missed getting her and the elf helper.

CmdrKiley04 Dec 2006 3:08 p.m. PST

Email Kev and Sally. They may have some left. There were 2 versions of Mrs. H.

Are the Space Marine Santas rare at all?

Khazarmac04 Dec 2006 3:39 p.m. PST

I have a pair of festive Space Marines too. They're drunk and leaning on each other, with a Xmastree motif on their shoulder pads.

Redroom04 Dec 2006 6:29 p.m. PST

Copplestone has some nice ones: evil snowmen (I have and like) and a new Santa and helper (I don't have these).

Ginfritter20 Jan 2007 1:25 p.m. PST

Hello all, Ginfritter's Gnomish Workshop has Ginfriter the Christmas Gnome as well. Only at Ginfritter.com

Reaper released some nice 03296: Monstrous Snowmen (3) and you can convert the 03356: Pumpkin Horrors to snowmen as well.

Anyone else see any cool christmas figures?

Freebooter had made a limited addition mechanical robot santa. I also think MageKnight had something called a clockwork claus
