From IannickM : Halfling's Final Countdown? (25 Points)

Not very original, am I?

Yes, five more Halflings this week. I'm just amazed I managed to keep my pledge of five per week, really! And for this week we have a pretty bizarre and heteroclite bunch of little men, with a Digger, a Potion Maker, a Linksman, a Thief and a Warrior Princess (!). Some of these are definitely on the silly side of things, but it's what makes this range's charm. 

From left to right : Potion Maker, Digger, Warrior Princess, Linksman and (80s) Thief

I'm quite pleased with the way the Warrior-Princess came out, as I didn't want to go with a boring metal or gold plated "armour". She reminds me of the Princess in one of the Super Mario NES game., I even resisted the urge of painting her pink! I do love her gigantic sword. Make fun of her incredibly impractical armour at your own risk, fellas!

Notice the Linksman's golf bag filled with weapons! 

And then we have the Thief, dressed as a 80s hair band member for some reason, complete with the haircut, the tight pants, the headband and the short coat with glitter and epaulets! When I saw it, I figured I just had to paint it as the Europe band singer, complete with white jacket, pink pants and blonde hair! Those were the days, am I right?!


Makes for a lousy thief's attire if you ask me, maybe he can bling his victims' attention away from his pick pocketing? 

Anyways, silly and fun bunch, silly post, good fun to help survive a sad freezy rainy February Wednesday here in Montreal (I hate freezing rain, I despise it. It's my weather nemesis). I'm up to 20 Halflings done, and my goal was 25, so I might just skip a week next week. Are we reaching Halfling's Final Countdown? Maybe, or maybe not. (Mostly I just had to plug a Europe reference in there).

(And another 25 pts)

ByronM: Another great entry of little people Iannick.  These have quickly become a fan favourite on Wednesdays with your great palette choice on cool and quirky figures.  Keep up the great work, I can't wait to see what oddities come next.

      Thanks John. I've grown to enjoy painting blonde hair especially, used to hate it

    Cracking stuff Iannick! That warrior princess is top notch! Love the colour choice on the armor, that dress like look is much more interesting than a plain metal colour would have been!

      Thanks! She's one of my favourite so far. She's going to make a fine warrior in my warband

    The more I look at your Halfling figures, the more things I see to admire, like the incredibly delicate shading and highlighting of the blue dress. The faces are first rate.
