I was quite exhausted by the Dwarf Bolt Throwers and tanks for the Epic Failure last week, but somehow I managed to get these two little guys ready for my Tuesday deadline.
They are originally Lumpin Croop's Fighting Cocks (what a name!), a mercenary unit for Warhammer Fantasy Battle. They have rules in Dogs of War / Regiments of Renown department, but as 5th edition WHFB allows imperial player to field Imperial Halflings with bows, I will be using these as those. I had four already, so with the addition of these two, I can now field a legal unit of six.
Although they wear quite earthly colors, one has bright red shirt and other has bright white. I did pick up all the details like buttons and those, so shame on me by ignoring "always paint as good as you can" guideline... This time the eyes came out very nice, I think, so that helps.
Two (very small) 28mm halflings from GW is 10 points.
"Nassstyy hobbitses! They hurts us they does"
Nice work on this pair of halflings Teemu. As you say, that's 10 points towards your target.
Some of my favourite GW scultps. Nice work on the Teemu.
ReplyDeleteWho doesn't love Hobbits?! Nice small entry, in size and quantity ;-)
ReplyDeleteLumpin Croop! Great work Teemu!
ReplyDeleteCute little guys, very nicely painted :)
ReplyDeleteAh, nostalgia! Great work, Teemu!
ReplyDeleteI always wanted to field a hobbit force. There are some new sculpts coming down the pike soon, but I do like these old GW ones.
ReplyDeleteHobbits with pikes? Now there's an idea...
DeleteI used to have a Dogs of War army and these guys were awesome on the tabletop. Wonderful job Teemu!
ReplyDeleteRemember when the Marksmen of Miragliano could skirmish?
DeleteGW nerfed them badly when they removed that ability in the following edition...
Yes! It was actually a killer army in its day and wonderfully colourful. I remember how people with cav-heavy armies getting 'introduced' to pikes.
DeleteVery nice, but what has it got in its pocketses...
ReplyDeleteThey were very nice sculpts and a joy to paint. Pity I don't have more of them...
ReplyDeleteThese are great little chaps
ReplyDeleteIan
smashing little figures
ReplyDeleteI have always had a soft spot for hobbits. Good job on these a real blast from the past.
ReplyDeleteNice work! One of the most characterful of the old Dogs of War units! And that's saying something!
ReplyDeleteNice pair of chaps.
ReplyDeleteVery nice!
ReplyDeleteVery nice pair of hobbots, Teemu! They came out really nice!
ReplyDeleteI love the feathered cap!
