Title: Halfling in space
Post by: manic _miner on May 11, 2017, 10:32:47 PM
 Today a new miniature arrived that Mustafa Bekir did the concept art for and Paul Muller did the sculpting.

 She is a Sci-Fi Halfling.I would like to find a name for her and here what people think of her.

She looks great, do you have a photo of her beside another figure for scale purposes?

There are some halfling name generators out there that should provide you with hours of fun - Hobbit name generator (http://www.fantasynamegenerators.com/hobbit_names.php)

Seconded on a really nice figure :D

Awesome mini. 8)

She'd be perfect as an alternative sanctioned psyker, as according to 40K fluff, psykers (especially the powerful ones) are often physically deformed, are smaller, larger or otherwise different from the norm.

 JollyBob here is the picture of the worm guys which i posted on the Fantasy thread.

 I am interested to see what and how people use her in games.I think she could work for Fantasy too.She is a neat little character and when you have powers like her's you dont need a gun ;).

Very nice figure. Love to see that the original artwork was used for inspiration and not copied %100

SO, how much trouble am I in for saying I much prefer the result to the original drawing, which IS high praise?

Thought so; I'll get my coat.  :o

Are you bringing her to Carronade, as I just may be forced to buy one if you do?

That's a very cool figure (has she been thieving Eldar spirit stones?)

I was hitherto unaware of you company but have had a quick shuftie at your store, you have some nice miniatures. 
Title: Re: Halfling in space
Post by: manic _miner on May 12, 2017, 04:53:35 PM
 She will be at Carronade.

 Spirit stones are not just for Elves Genghis ;).

 The range is very mixed and i hope to expand a few different things to give some playable skirmish forces.

 Lots more weird stuff to come and more 15mm pieces too.

 I am what some call a butterfly and drift from one project to the next very quickly.Too many idea's and no one to hold me to a course.

Seen her on the site, love the name you've chosen.
Title: Re: Halfling in space
Post by: manic _miner on May 12, 2017, 09:53:42 PM
 It seemed to fit after seeing what others have been coming up with.Might need to think of a second name for her.

A Psyker Halfling...
How about Psycho Baggins?
Too much?

Syba Shok.

Paul Muller should do more sf stuff. Quality.
Title: Re: Halfling in space
Post by: manic _miner on May 13, 2017, 08:03:38 PM
 Paul Muller did work for Harlequin miniatures and did some Sci-Fi pieces for the.Also did some of the Babylon 5 miniatures range for them too.

 This is the four Sci-Fi figure Paul has done for me.There are three winged gremlins in the range too.

  Spirit stones are not just for Elves Genghis ;).

More to the point, not all cabochon are spirit stones...  ;D

Flutter away, butterfly; I admire the breadth of product, though the website displays poorly in my browser.
