Just a bit of silliness. What would Santas abilities be and How would he stack up against the emperor or any other hero from 40K.

First of all Santa gets the Fleet rule and the emperor gets the Eternal warrior special ability.

Well if you put Santa in his slay moving at over 750 miles per second he would just annihilate anything he flew past. He could probably go faster.

Not to mention santa's required speed would mean that he is able to withstand unrealistic forces, so certainly no physical force could hurt him. It would come down to the Emperor's psychic abilities but I do not have any idea what Santa's psychic abilities or defenses would be like (if any).

Well the most obvious psychic power is knowing who is naughty and who is nice. I can't really think of how that would be beneficial in combat.

Never underestimate the power of knowing your enemies true nature.

The emperor is supported by the bureaucracy, and that can slow anything down.

He sees you when you're sleeping. He knows when you're awake. Odds are he can spot you in deep cover. I'd say the old elf's got crack shot.

Its obvious that santa is the Laughing God.... Just look at his outfit! Also he is very jolly and travels through the warp without fear, moreover he has strange dancing minions that make things for him.

Santa is a ctan don't you know that

Santa knows if you are sleeping, he knows if you've been bad' and he knows where you live. He Will make it into your house. Nothing can stop santa.

So Santa has infiltrate?

If it's that weird russian santa with the white suit, I vote his way because he has mafia connections.

He doesn't need to sense if they are naughty or nice.... he just needs to count the number of skulls and multiply that number by the number of horns on an opponent and you get the GW 'EVIL' Quotient.

Does Santa get the beasts/calvalry rule from his rein deer or does his sleigh count as a skimmer?

So far, Santa has Fleet, Skilled flyer, Increased strategy,I'd say the special fill your stockings with coal attack(ever try to walk with your socks full of coal), infiltrate & deep strike, and an his artificer red suit conveys an invulnerable save of (what ? 3+ --2+).

Still don't know what his attacks are.

He comes equipped with a fast open-topped skimmer "that because its red he gets an extra inch of movement"(My wifes contribution) allows him to always assault no matter how far he's moved..............This needs to be MathHammered. We need these stats.

D'you think Move Through Cover is appropriate, since he can apparently phase through walls and fit down narrow chimnies?

If he can fit all those toys in the bag, it must be some sort of orkish teleportation device, probably a Snotzogga.

Shouldn't he have Jetbike rule? He is more like a herald on a tzeentch chariot when travelling.

He has the stats of a terminator. his elfs are scouts or guards men. 'Nuff said. At the start of each game the player controlling Santa has to decide if hes being used as a skimmer with open topped,
or as calvary, adn that's that. NOW MINIONS YOU WILL READ MY POSTS OR DIE! AND COMMENT! But in all seriousness please read my other posts and comments and critisicm are always welcome.

Santa =
WS6 Str5 T8 I8 W6 A7+D3
0+/2++/3+FNP/2+ Cover when moving (any distance), Witch hunter Bionics enhanced 4+
Eternal Warrior, Counts all non Hand weapons as Hand weapons.
Regenerate each unsaved wound at the begining of every turn on 3+ (max of starting wounds)
Good luck killing the Christmas spirit!

Since he is keen on being a changer of ways, perhaps he is in fact a herald of tzeentch?

how many points is he? i want to use my nightbringer against him.

Don't you get it? Santa is the Emperor! The Emperor was born near the dawn of man and hid amongst man until he reveiled himself. He is Santa! And he's a CIA informant. The CIA thinks that he's collecting naughty/nice info for them, but really, he's gathering info on the CIA.

If Santa were the Emperor, Would That make Horus The Grinch or Burger Miester Miester Burger?.

Or is the jolly old elf really a C'tan. Every culture and "race" (on this thread) claims him as part of their cultural history. And he flies really fast, so maybe he doesn't use the warp.

so he has to have necron tech? so maybe he is the deceiver? that would make sense...

Or one of the other two unnamed C'tan........or not

well santa would match the deceiver's personality the closer than the night bringer but how can ye compare him to the other 2 since we don't know how they achieve their ends

Exactly. 2 C'tan remembered for evil and destruction. Why not one remembered for benevolence and thus subjugating all.

Everyone "wants" Santa as a part of their culture(Please lead us as long as you bring presents). Also more people have killed for what they believe is right than what they percieve is wrong(Effective armies). Sounds like a winning recipe.

Or he could be an Old One.
Or Chaos
Or ect....

He's obviously tainted.

Red = Khorne
Bloated = Nurgle
Magical = Tzeentch
Beguiling = Slaanesh

Well the Emperor is crippled and immobilized, of course Santa would win.
