28mm Hasslefree Rejects, Secret Santa, Pope Francis, Santa Claus, TMP and owning an original Anne O'Leary!

Received these two gits, one handsome and one Ray, from my Secret Santa plus a couple of bags of modern British and a further vehicle to come!!!Very generous and very much appreciated!!


Ray in his usual pose and me with a coke and a katana (spot on in fact).....


While at Blog-Con  Andrew (Loki) gave me my religious alter ego Pope Francis, a truly excellent model......


I received this original and quite amazing miniature from Anne O' Leary plus some pieces for other people to have and a couple of the new Reaper Bones miniatures (Golems) which I've painted for the challenge......


I got this from my secret Santa Claus benefactor, lovely painted stuff from GZG.......


.........also got a years TMP membership!

Thanks very much!

    It may just be the angle of the shot, but it looks as though Ray is shooting flames out of his posterior

    Pope Francis is very nice, as the rest of the minis. Your avatars are perfect for a Zombie game (with Ray as THE perfect victim, of course).

    As we already mentioned this week, we're not nearly as cool as the pope. That mini only furthers that coolness of his. Teach me how to be cool, Pope Francis! Please?

    Having your very own bad self in minis is very cool. Doesn't hurt that they are really well done too. Pope Francis - bwahahahaha. Seriously mate, if the post becomes vacant again, you should run!

    Have a great New Year Big Fellah and I'll look forward to many more outrageous and entertaining posts from the Angry Lurker!
