Ben Curry comes up with some ideas for a Christmas (I think he means Gutmas) themed Ogre Kingdoms army in this year's final episode of the Bad Dice Daily podcast:
"With Christmas almost upon us I end the year's podcast with a Christmas themed army episode.
The list I decided to go with is inspired about the grotty, dishevelled Bad Santas that are in every American Christmas movie. I have an idea of a union meeting and strike action as a group of Santas go on a protest march and turn into a riot!
My Christmas Themed Army would be based on Ogre Kingdoms. I would use Skrag as the main Santa on his sleigh with his big sack of toys. Skrag is accompanied by Gorgers and they would be represented by Snowmen.
The core of my army would be a large unit of Iron Guts. These guys would be the Bad Santas, looking grimy and angry waving Christmasy utensils. I would also be running lots of Gnoblars. They would be painted in the traditional Christmas Elf colours and the units champions would be a large Elf in the style of Will Ferell. I would kit the Gnoblars out with hand weapons made of wood and they will be trappers too, leaving Christmas presents all over the place.
The special choices would be some Sabertusks as reindeer, Mournfang Cavalry as the 3 Wise Men and some Leadbelchers with Snow Cannons.
No ogre list is complete without an Ironblaster so this big gun will be shooting out presents.
To finish the list I need a few more characters so Jack Frost would be made from a Firebelly and finally the Grinch will make an appearance as either a Giant or another character."
