Ho Ho Ho, Hairy Christmas

 I know, I know, that’s a terrible (barely even a) pun, but here we are nevertheless.

This year’s festive offering is North Star’s limited edition Krampus miniature:

He came in a pack of Silver Bayonet minis, although there aren’t officially any scenarios featuring Krampus. I did stumble on some unofficial scenarios over on Goonhammer though, so maybe next year I could play through those at Christmas (assuming I ever actually finish my Silver Bayonet unit - I’ve started painting the last member, but think he looks a little French so might have to replace him).

He’s quite difficult to photograph, being so dark. Except for his hooves, which I took inspiration from the official paint job for and provide a nice little pop of colour.

My son saw that I was painting this, and asked if I could include it in the family D&D game so he could fight him to save Santa. I wasn’t going to be able to finish it in time for the scheduled day, so had planned something else (involving Frosty the Snowman and a Paindeer). Then on the scheduled game day, the other half of the family spent the day throwing up, so we've had to postpone… maybe I’ll add him at the end to foreshadow next year’s festive session! 

As of writing this draft, the Tally stands at:

39 vs 255 = -216

But I’m writing it the day before, and I suspect I will have opened some 28mm scale presents by the time you’re reading this…
