Wow, those halflings look pretty cool, nicer than many of foundry's recent offerings.  I will link to your photo for the world to see:



Now, your blog said something about even more fantasy releases and you were going to post pictures?  ;)

Very talented person.  Who sculpted the MB1 and MM15 dwarfs?  Solegends did not tell me...

Finally here :)

 - and yes they are spectacular - just as your Dwarfs are, WK.

End of 2012 you say!! They will make a nice little Christmas present, I guess.

Wow, those are quite nice! Look a little big though, more like 42mm halflings.

Would have to see comparisons, but they have a lot of character!

Stylewise these would look great together with the ones Citadel produced in the late 80s. Hope they come in the right size.

Asked John about them some time ago, and iirc he said approx same size as the halfling from the Christmas Panto set.

So "quite" bigger than old Citadels. 17-18mm to the eye and 19mm to top of head.

Comparison shot:

Who drew that?!

Looks like it might be Wayne England... Doubt it though somehow!  :?

Could be - the 'England' bit at the bottom maybe his signature as opposed to a UK sort of thing? I am not sure but looking at other pics they all have it so possibly is his work? Couple more pics on the blog.
