Hi guys,
Super-bump on this topic! I recently rediscoved this gem, and had a good chuckle. This thread really shows off my growing interest in the old Halfling models, and since my last post here they've gotten a lot of friends. I've sold all my other Dogs of War, but Halfling collection has grown into a huge Empire army. So enough talking, here are some pics! It's a copy-paste to show the descent into madness I've gone through ;p
It's an army from the Moot. So lots and lots of Halflings! YAY! When the army's finished I should have painted about 200 of the little guys!
The army is not going to be a game winner, but it should look cool on the tabletop!
It should look a little like this:
Every model is GW, but some of them are very old..
The models that I use as Greatswords are from 1984, so they're even older than me! ;o
And now for some painted pics!
This was a small 750 pts army that I had to finish for a tournament. At the time I didn't have time to finish the banners and shields yet.
50 Free Company, 20 Greatswords, a Captain BSB, a wizard and a Mortar with customized template ;p
Halflings have their own Steam Tank of course, but the standard version is waaaaaay too big for these cute little fellows. So they have their own model:
A unit of Huntsmen with a skirmish movementtray:
Crappy pic of my warrior priest:
My very cute little Pegasus rider:
And my BSB:
So this is where the army is currently at:
This was at a tournament last week where I managed to win second place and best painted!
Another "Mortar"
And a Halfling sized Helblaster Volley Gun!
And now the good stuff. I'm working on my unit of Flaggelants. The first rank is finished.
I also got to have some fun with the conversions, like this unit filler.
And finally, the entire unit.
I have been working on a War Altar and really wanted to share some pics.
Yeaahh.. I forgot to take pictures of the entire model, and focused on the part I'm really proud of; the bored Arch Lector that's sitting on top of a pizza oven.
I've also finished a Cockatrice for a tournament this weekend. He will probably be used as a Griffon for my General later.
I've been sculpting the last week, and this is was I came up with. I started out sculpting a bad ass mounted Warrior Priestess, but I ended up with a Disney Princess. Never thought I would put my Disney Princess knowledge to practical use..
I leave it up to you guys to tell what Princess it is supposed to be ;p
And now it's time for some manly sports, cars and facial hair ;p
I've been quite busy with these little guys, so I have a lot to show you guys!
Let's start with a painted pic of my mounted Arch Lector and her friends at a recent tournament:
After that we started a campaign with my gaming group. So far it's great fun and a nice way to stay motivated with painted my army! For the campaign we play on a map, and I had to make a marker for my capitol city:
We had to build three lists for the campaign and each army also had to have a marker. So I decided to build a themed general and BSB for each list, and make a copy of the banners for my army markers. I have the army of my general with State Troops, a Girl Power army filled with Flaggelants and a Farmers army with a lot of Free Company:
So this is what the map looked like before turn 1:
Here's the town of Deephallow in the Black Marsh, surrounded by Dark Elves in the South, and Goblins to the north.
And here's an overview of the entire map. I think it's looking really cool with all those markers!
And now it's time for some pics of the models I've painted.
First, a cannon.
And now the real fun, the second unit of Flaggelants:
Close-up of a Flaggelant unit filler.
And I've expanded my unit Greatswords to 30:
And here's the big update. After playing with a lot of unpainted mini's for a while, I finally finished all the mini's in my Generals army in the campaign.
I present to you guys my unit of 50 Halberdiers, the Cuddly Bunnies:
With the banner of cuteness:
I think it turned out pretty good. Ironically in the campaign this unit has fought so well it now causes fear. But lets call it a cuteness check instead of a fear check, when you fail it the unit is too cute to be hit normally ;p
And some more progress, my general on Griffon. It didn't turn out as well as the Pegapony, but it's good enough for the campaign.
And finally a unit of Handgunners:
So here's what my General's army looks like at the moment in the campaign:
Here's another update on the Chicken Knights. I guess they're finished, although I'm not really happy about the Knights themselves.
Close-up on the champion with the Chickenslayer helmet and cloak.
And close-up on the musician.
The sculpting on these guys took so much time, so I'm kinda sick of them ;p In the meantime I've also been working on my armylist, and I don't even know if I can fit these Knights in. Might have to work on a Hurricanum, but I'm not really motivated at the moment...
First, I've finished greenstuff work on my Witch Hunter. First plan was to use a pistol from the Pistolier set, but that was bigger than the Halfling...
And I've started planning the Hurricanum. I've decided the idea of a windmill would make the most interesting centrepiece model, so that's what I'm going to try to make
So today I wanted to make the basic shape of the windmill. I was not really sure about the size, so I started cutting some cardboard and after some changes, here's what it will look like when it's finished:
So as you can see it's quite big, but not too big. Here's what one of the first mock-ups looked like:
From here I will add a layer of balsawood to form the details, and I still have to figure out the cart-part, the part where the wheels attach to the mill... And also I keep thinking poor horsies... so maybe I have to think of something else to pull the cart.
And here's another update on the mill. I just can't seem to put this project down! So here's the basic structure. It still needs all the detailing, but I really like the way it's turning out. It's pretty big, but I don't know if it's that much bigger than GWs Hurricanum...
And this is the basic plan for transporting. It can break up into four pieces. I might add magnets, but for now it seems it's doesn't really need it.
And here's the basic construction done! Now I get to add fun little details like flowers, mice and cats!
I've working on the mill some more, and finished the first little details.
Here's the millers wife.
And the lazy old millers cat.
Work on the mill has halted since I want to add some more details, but I'm not really sure what or where...
So I've painted my Witch Hunter
And here he's showing off his scarred face...
And finally facing off against his most deadly enemy...
Today I started painting my mill. So far it's going pretty good, I think I just need to add some freehands (and of course the main 'blades').
Here's the miller and his animals:
And his wife:
Here are the Demigryph Knights!
At the moment I'm working on 6 normal Knights for the tournament Sunday. I will try to make an army pic tomorrow, or else I'll make some at the tournament
I just had to check if I had all the models I need for the tournament tomorrow, so here's an army pic.
Thanks guys! You are not the only guys who like this army, because me and a friend won best painted at yesterdays tournament! We played with a team of 5 guys (the Pin Up Models) and had to choose 2 to nominate for best painted. I still can't believe we actually won! There were lots of guys taking pics of our armies, so hopefully they're will be some more online soon
I replaced (well a friend 
i thought people on this forum were mature enough to not think things of small halflings....
