Well, I just got done writing a X-Mas scenario for our campaign that's about to start, and I wanted to know what you guys thought about it.
HAVE A MURDEROUS X-MAS:
Word has spread quickly around the campfires of Mordheim. In the northernmost reaches of the city, near the old Rich Quarter, lives a vile necromancer by the name of Santa Claws. Over the past few months, Santa Claws has been seen ransacking the buildings of the encampments surrounding the city, entering through the chimney and making off with any valuables, stuffing them into his big red sack.
Each and every building of the cursed city is on his list, and he checks it twice to make sure he loots each and every one. It is said the the magicians vile necromancy gives him the power to see you when you're sleeping, and know when you're awake. He then returns to his lair, laughing all the way. What's worse, he has put his undead legion to work constructing weapons and equipment, packaging them in brightly colored boxes to be shipped around the countryside to any child who believes in his vile mission of X-mas.
This wretched villian must be stopped! But more importantly, his stockpile of weapons and equipment must be yours!
TERRAIN:
The largest building on the table must be placed in the exact center of the table, this is Santas Workshop. Each Player then rolls a d6, starting with the highest player, the person places a piece of terrain onto the table wherever he wishes.
SET UP:
Santa Claws is Deployed at the start of the game on the uppermost level of his Workshop in the exact center of the building.
Each player then rolls a d6, starting with the player who rolled the highest, players choose their deployment zones and deploy their warbands. Each warband has a 8x18 area in which to deploy. No model may be deployed within 8 inches of an enemy model.
SPECIAL RULES:
A White X-Mas: Snow covers the ground and is falling from the sky. At the beggining of the turn, the player who went first will roll on the weather chart.
Naughty Children: Alliances may not be formed in this scenario as per the "Chaos on the Streets" rules, it's every man, woman, and beast for himself.
Santas Bag: A token representing Santas Bag should be placed on the bottom floor of Santas Workshop (It's far too heavy to carry up the stairs). Any model that begins its turn touching Santas Bag will receive a present from the bag. For each present recieved, the model will roll on the present chart as soon as it leaves the table, if and only if they make it off the board with their present. Any model taken out of action with a present will drop their present, and it can be picked up by another player (naughty kids do finish first!). A model may only ever recieve one present from the bag, however he may carry any ammount of presents. Please note that the only way a model may have two or more presents is if he picks up a present from a model that went out of action. Any model with a present may opt to leave the table, however they may not return to it.
Santas Workshop: Santas Workshop may only be looted if Santa is killed and all other players have routed. If looted, the warband finds one extra present for each model that survives the battle, as well as Santas List, which counts as a Master Map of Mordheim.
Santa Claws:

- 4 - 4 5 6 3 2 10 -
Cause Fear, Immune to Psychology, Never Leave Combat, Immune to Poison, Treat Stunned as Knocked Down
Movement: Santa Claws will not move at all during the game, for he is far too fat to move without the support of his "Helpers". (How he gets down the chimney is anyones guess).
Shooting: Santa Claws does not shoot in the normal sense, rather he throws large boxes full of X-mas Fear (of lots of gunpowder). Each turn, Santa Claws will throw one box at the closest model to his workshop, regardless of range, (Santa always delivers, no matter how far), The box will scatter d6 inches in a random direction and then explode. The Explosion has these characteristics:
Box:
S:2, Blast Template
Extreme Hunger: Santa Claws always eats any food left out in the buildings he enters, as such he has developed quite an appetite. Any model halfling size or smaller (halfling, goblin, giant rat, piggy, etc.) will be consumed whole if successfully wounded by Santa Claws. Should Santa Claws not be killed by the end of the game, any models consumed will be treated as dead and crossed off the roster, all weapons and equipment will be lost. (Though Santa will "find" them again in about 8 hours)
Necromancy: Santa Claws is a vile, vile necromancer, and the streets surrounding his workshop are littered with his "Helpers". Each turn, D6+2 of his "helpers" will appears from a randomly determined wall of his workshop.
Santas "Helpers":
M WS BS S T W A I LD Sv
- 2 - 3 3 1 1 1 10 -
Cause Fear, Undead Shuffle, Immune to Psychology, Never Leave Combat, Immune to Poison, Treat Stunned as Knocked Down
Undead Shuffle: Each "Helper" will move 2d6 inches towards the model closest to it. If this brings it into combat with an enemy model, the "helper" counts as charging.
STARTING THE GAME:
Each Player rolls a d6, the player who rolled the highest gets to go first, and proceed counter-clockwise around the table.
ENDING THE GAME:
The game ends when Santa Claws is dead and all but one warband has been routed, or if all warbands are routed, Santa is Declared the winner. Please note that Santa Claws will never take rout tests.
