A blog about my wargaming in Middle-earth, the Old World and some other far away places across the void, with Grand Scale 10mm (and some 15mm) miniatures using the Warmaster, Blitzkrieg Commander, Cold War Commander, Future War Commander and GW's The War of the Ring (and some other ) rule systems. Oh, and there might be the odd post about roleplaying and board games here and there. So all the usual geeky stuff we are so proud of!

Krampus, the Christmas demon, from Reaper Miniatures
Happy New Year and a very Merry Eastern Orthodox Christmas to you all. Got to love the mix-ups caused by different calendars across the centuries. Anyway, this just means that I'm not out of the Yule season yet with finally finishing this mini!
Krampus is a Christmas demon who punishes naughty children, kidnapping them on the 23rd of December. He carries a Christmas Bag of Holding made from wicker and brass (you can see the naughty kinder trying to escape) and carries a Ruten to swatch the backsides of misbehaving children and adventurers alike, making him a perfect baddie for any Christmas adventure.
There is a good write-up for his stats for 5e of D&D over at DMDave's blog (find it here), and there is an excellent video for an encounter with Krampus from Professor Dungeon Master (PDM) below. Both also give good backgrounds into who Krampus is.
Can our plucky adventurers save the naughty kinder before Krampus carts them off to turn them into goblins (or worse!).
Krampus is definitely going to make a cameo for my RPG groups next Christmas themed adventure at the end of the year. Only 11 months to go!
