[Goblin-King]

Cool! It is a mind-flyer skeleton, with a burning lava-heart!!

I'm pretty sure it's an orc skull though

[guitarhulk]

It's looking like the year of the Orc That skelton is fantastic!!

The Age of men is over. The time of the Orc has come.

I received my gift today at the office...
once I opened I found a metallic Xmas box and a letter.
Surprisely, the box was warm, like something hot was hiding inside,
I almost burned my fingers when I tried to open it!

So this is the content of what I found inside:

Greetings & Salutations, friend!
Balur was not always the "Fire Mage" we call him today.
A disciple of the grey arts of all elements, he studied
the pillars that make up the Old World's soil and winds and waters.

But the recent turmoils over all of the Empire
had many great men and women revisit their goals
and possibilities. Balur was among those...

He began to focus all his powers on the fiery arts
as they seemed the most prolific and effective
in solidifying his high seat on the council of wizards.

Unfortunately, that focus on the destructive nature
of fire soon blackened Balur's soul and burned his
compassion for the lowlier people.

Inevitably, soon he was utterly corrupted by Morcar's
promises of the warm embrace of power. He was
given his own cadre of Orcs and they have been
working closely together with the legendary warlord,
Ulag, and his shaman son, Grak.

Yet, chief among the bribes from Morcar
is the Havoc Staff that strenghtens Balur's
wizardry as it taps into the soul of the wieldes
and bends him a hot tunnel view on that
wich must be set ablaze to make room for
new structures in power, at the top of wich
will sit Morcar and his lieutenants.

I hope I reported the letter content properly, without mistakes.
Now, let's have a look at the miniature!! I like so much the paint job.
Also it is one of my favourite HQ miniature and still haven't one decently painted, until now.
Please note his burning fingers, the high quality details on the flame on the base, the fire beard, the decoration on the back of his cloak and the evil Havoc Staff!!
Also the half moon was removd from the hat.
I really want to say a big thank you to my sender for this gift, it is really HOT!

I received this box last week. Suprisingly enough, even the outer box had a hint about what its content would be...


Opening up the box, I found another box inside that definitely gave a hint about its content. The box art was very pretty and done with much care!


Inside was a mean, dagger-wielding, goblin, ready to stab me!


I would like thank my secret Santa for this miniature. It has already taken its place in my dungeons.
However, there was no name written underneath that GW base, so I can't really tell who sent this to me...
I guess I will have to wait and find out when all miniatures of the exchange are received and posted.

I love this thread. It’s almost as exciting watching other people get their mini’s as it was receiving mine. I can’t wait for next year

[Pancho]

I agree, it's so much fun seeing what others get. And I'm already thinking about what I could send next year!

That Goblin is great. I cant think of anyone else who has thought of giving that mini a dagger. It really fits the sneakiness of a goblin. Such a good idea, and well executed.

I couldn't agree more!!!

[Rath of Un]

Received my mini, will post photos when I get home from work...

It have been fun to read and see all the minis that have been received!

[StratosVX]

I love seeing the pictures and I don't participate at all. I enjoy seeing everyone's creativity.
