While sitting with a beer one night I had a bit of inspiration: "hey, perhaps we could play a Christmas wargame"
I went out and looked for figures. Turns out the Ion age/Alternative Armies folks have a bunch. So I bought their painted HOTT figures and some for me to paint. I also found some RAFM familiars which would work.
So we have: The forces of Nice
Massively-armoured Santa, Chrimbot, Jughead the not-so-jolly-old-elf, The Tooth Fairy and Rudolf the Red-nosed Robotic Reindeer
Armoured Elves
Robotic Reindeer.
And for the Naughty Force
Psychotic Snowmen and Irate Gingerbread
Unwrapped Presents and Killer Trees
Gingy, leader of the Gingerbread (he's so irate he ripped his own head off), Some Halloween techno-Witches and overall leader of Naughty, Jack Frost
Yet to be painted, Halloween forces to add to the Naughty list (not pictured some ghosts)
And as we have Ghosts and Halloween things for the Naughty, for Nice we answer with "Who You Gonna Call?"
Why, the Ghostbusters of course!
For terrain I went off an bought some cheap Christmas decorations, which turned out to be ideal

Some pre-snow sprayed trees and a Xmas tree ornament, plus from the bits box an orb thingy that is going to serve as a marker for Xmas magic/spirit of Xmas.
And finally, some house ornaments that are ideal for an Elves village
Ok, its silly, but the kids and even Mrs OA have had a few games now and they have been fun and it has been a fun mini-project to build.
That was cute, and a great way to motivate the kids (and Mrs.) to play!
