The haggis is not anatomically correct.

A real haggis has two long legs on one side and two short legs on the other side for running around hills.

Very nice figures I may add these to my WHFB dwarf army. Don't know how the haggis will fit into the army list though?

I dimly remember a story in the Beano or Dandy (or somesuch) where they had the anatonically correct Haggises running around a hill. Chasing Dennis the Menace, possibly

Age-muddled reminiscence aside, I do like those wee porridge-scoffers!

I would probably never play a game with them, but would love to paint up a unit or two like Jolly Bob did with his Halfling militia.

I don't usually like the GW-style "Christmas-pudding-on-legs" approach to Dwarf anatomy, but these have so much character and charm that they are impossible to resist

the moustaches really stand out!

I think they add lots of charisma to the minis!

Don't like the Haggis-herder's trident. It is silly-big. Other than that, they are wonderful little heeland laddies, full of character.

I feel the urge to create yet another HoTT army

Now then, what will make a good stronghold for these laddies....

These are so awesome. You have to love Sims sculpts.

Only the Haggises are Mark Sims, the dwarves are all by Whiff-Whaff.

Lovely.

Very characterful and fun little sculpts.

I do not want to buy them.

There's no way I can pass up War Haggises. Not when the Dwarfs took so much time to breed out the leg length issues. It would just be unkind.

Wonderful, a must have!

How about a cave mouth, with a spider hanging from the roof and a big pot of porridge simmering over a fire?

Good idea about the HOTT army though, it would also work for Chipco's "Fantasy Rules", which I haven't played for a while.

A little more incentive to buy some
