Ottawa Miniatures Gamers (OMG) Christmas 2020 Game

Below are some  picture from a game session held on December 18, 2020 at my local games club the OMG featuring a Christmas themed Warband versus a Warband of Goblins & Orcs with a Dinosaur in a SAGA Age of Magic game. The Christmas figures are a mix of 3D printed Christmas Horrors figures and "War in Christmas Village" figures.

 
 

 
 


A highlight from last Christmas:


Some of my Dark Elf warriors in Christmas livery 2019 
 
 
Note the colour of the mat above under fluorescent light, the OMG game I played below was played on the same mat in an alternate location (for Social distancing) with incandescent light making the green in the mat appear brownish. 

My OMG Christmas 2020 game:

 
Below are a few pictures from the game I played in at OMG using my Wood Elves versus a Horde of  Beastmen, Ogres, Centaurs and a Minotaur.




 
 A full AAR of the this game will follow when time permits.
