Nice old school vibe to them and cracking paint jobs too.

Now we are talking, love them too and would buy them if I didn't already have around 150 hallfings left to paint.

Black Hat do great fabtasy minis, the Orcs and Dwarves are even better than the halflings!

A q for you Dr K, are they scaled to 1980s citadel haflings or late 1990s and 2000+?

BTW great job!

Well, as can be seen from the picture, they are slightly slimmer and smaller, but yeah, close.

Any idea why they went bigger? easier to make or easier to paint

Sorry for the slight off topic question
Title: Re: Halfling Militia

Probably the same reason why everything got bigger over the years. Easier to sculpt, easier to paint, easier to increase the price.

Cracking unit there, Doc!
Lovely miniatures with even better paintjobs.
 :-*

Just grabbed a pack of these for a friend and am tempted not to let him have them.
They are too nice to passing on.  ;)

The fact that they are a little easier to paint, due to their size, is a good thing as far as I am concerned.

Great painting, especially the flesh and bases! Like the miniatures quite a bit. They have lots of rank-and-file poses which is great for buidling units. Wish they did more characterful individuals or packs of individuals in the spirit of the old citadel ones though. I don't find the Elvis,  Napoleon, or Harry Potter ones at all charming or funny, but if the range had some fun in-period sculpts mixed in I would be tempted.

I love how this crew looks.  Well done.
