Looking for 28mm Hobbit / Halfllings as D&D villains
« on: 14 September 2009, 12:30:57 PM »
Has anyone a good Idea where to get nice 28mm Halflings with melee and bows and stuff like that.

I already know:

- There are the GW Lumpin Croot Halfling Mercs
- Stuff from the GW LotR Range
- Reaper has also some Stuff, but these are more Heros than villains.

Hasslefree and Heresy also do some nice halflings, many of which are not your traditional bucolic fat faced bumpkins. They may work for villains.

They have to be fat faced bumpkins, that makes them even more villain :D

Ah, I get it. All the more evil for looking so harmless.  ;)

You could look at "The Goblin Factory" for your Hobbits as I'm currently painting up a Hobbit pike unit for Michael Broadbent the designer of the range, but owned by Don Beseny who is always on TMP as I noted on his TMP profile.

Michael has also designed bowmen, spearmen and swordsmen for the hobbits.

Does seem that the Halflings are coming soon alongside the Kobolds which I'm also painting up some samples for a show next month.

Best wishes,

We do some halfling spears, but they aren't really that evil.... :-)

I've always thought that these guys ranked amongst some of the best 28mm halflings that cash can buy:


Pretty chubby in the old cheek department, too...

Rackham Dwarves would make good evil halflings (the figures are  alittle big perhaps ;D) but evil none the less

Reaper has this great pirate

And some great halfling thiefs:

http://www.reapermini.com/FigureFinder#detail/03071

Although for my money the greatest halfling of all time, Van Halfling from the already mentioned Heresy.



Such a great mini.

 The Heresy one is very cool and you get a few arm options with him too.They have a sale on now so you can get him cheaper.
