Title: Halfling Witch Hunters
Post by: Hubbynz on 06 December 2011, 07:50:06 AM: Sorry it's me again.

I have finally got round to getting pictures of my latest Halfling Unit ....Van Halfling's Halfling Witch Hunters. I tried to achieve the look of crazed religious "The Crucible" styled halflings and it is definitely my favourite unit yet.

Next in the painting que is a unit of Evil Undead halflings.......should be a couple of pictures up next week.

Lovely concept and brushwork, Hubbynz!

Nice subtle conversions and a good choice of miniatures really make this work!

Cant wait to see the Undead!

Post by: Hubbynz on 07 December 2011, 06:41:15 AM: Thanks for all the comments.

Most of the models are C11 Hallfings, plus one later GW spearman, a Bob Olley Essex Dog handler (still available), Heresy Van Halfling and GW LOTR farmer maggot's Hounds.

The torch bearers are simple mini conversions of old model's which arrived with the spearheads broken.

I wish I had done a better job on the Frodo mini as he is fantastic and probably would of been better suited as a Men-at-arms leader or something.....the plain palette doesn't really suit him or do him justice.

I'll post some WIP of the next Evil Halfling unit next week.

Post by: Mason on 07 December 2011, 06:50:14 AM: They are all fantastic, Frodo too, but I wish you would stop posting them. ;)
You make me want to get my own Halflings painted up.
I have always had a soft spot for the little fella's, especially the C11's.
I have about 30 or so that are screaming to be painted and I just dont have the time at the moment.
I really DO want to paint them and will not sell them but just cant seem to find the time to get around to them.

You are a bad man, Hubbynz.
Posting these lovely minis does not help!
