Halflings help..
« on: May 25, 2019, 10:49:54 PM »
I have some 28mm scale Halflings from copplestone castings.

I was just wondering who makes other halflings of a similar design and scale.

Thanks

Unsure about size, but the Scotia Grendell figures look similar and you may find some of the Midlam Halflings will suit, although these are a fairly mixed bunch of figures.

Sabre Miniatures has a good range of halflings, some of them mounting on donkies

I’ve been pondering the same question and was wondering if the Mirliton/Grenadier Halfmen were likely to be the closest match.

Probably, as they're from the same sculptor. Would look at those first...

Looking at those Mirliton figures, you really can see the sculptors style copied in the North Star figures.

Thanks

Westfalia do some absolutely superb Halflings.

This is an enjoyable thread! There are not enough non-comedic halflings (and other short folk) for my taste. I do like most of the Midlam ones though, even though they are often intentionally a touch silly.

What’s the best source for getting Westfalia Miniatures in the UK?

I think that the designer of both ranges is Coppleston.

I lurked on Westfalia web page and their minis are brilliant but a bit expensive to my pocket, I fear
