foundry halflings
« on: May 31, 2012, 11:20:50 AM »
I just got an email advertising the upcoming foundry fantasy rules, and the picture had some of their halflings in it:



I remember seeing some pictures of the halflings from the last open day.  From this angle they look like they will be pretty good - probably more on the the scale of 4th ed WFB empire halflings rather than the older tiny Marauder ones.

Am I excited seeing those? :D

Such wonderful Pickford sculpts - and I can't hardly wait to get my hands on them.

So, anyone heard anything about thir new fantasy rule book: "God of Battles" (by "legendary" Jake Thornton)?

Oh nice, just when I'm close to releasing the halfling upgrades for my goblins that everyone's been asking about. >:(

Look lovely though.

They look massive.  :(

Will wait to see how they scale up with other manufacturers before ordering any.

Well share them with us then :P

And if it is any comfort to you ... you can probably beat these on price and shipping costs ;)

And here is Dozing Dragon's old picture:



Think, we now have seen all the halfling sculpts I know of.

Ah yes, thats the picture I was referring to!

I also am interested in how the fantasy rules work out.  Maybe if they offer them at 50% off this Christmas I will give it a try if it gets good reviews...

Nice to see some new rules coming out.  First Mantic is officially releasing their rules, now Foundry has some in the works.

As someone who has been drawn in by the lure of the little fellows, I'm pleased there are more options on the way. However, these look a bit too... comical... for me. I like my Copplestone fellows, which strike me (this is soooo subjective, I know) as more 'Scouring of the Shire' than Warhammer-esque country-bumpkin bucolic idyll.

I do love the 'Lobelia Sackville-Baggins' with the rolling pin, though  :-*


Edit - grammar corrected so my comment makes sense!

Thanks, Andy. To my knowledge there are about 20 haflings, the bar and a "porky pack pony called Philip" ;) - all by John P - so yes, could be something like 5 maybe 6 packes coming.

So, no date yet! Hopefully it won't be that long - or maybe just in time for Christmas ;)
