From IannickM : Halflings, part II (25 Points)

More StoneHaven Halflings this week, as I'm keeping up with my goals of painting 5 per week. The little buggers are a ton of fun to paint, and since each one is very different it keeps me from being bored of painting the same thing.

And so this week we have a gardener, a lorekeeper, a ranger, a ratcatcher and a skelly.



From left to right : Ranger, Gardener, Ratcatcher, Skelly and Lorekeeper



I exceptionally went with a different base style for the skeleton as the nice and happy goblin green didn't seem to fit very well with him. I love that figure, and the smoking pipe is a nice touch. As the first Halfling batch,  I used green and brown when possible while still going all over the place in terms of colours, to keep their individuality.


ByronM: More amazing little Halflings from Iannick this week.  Super clean painting and great colour choices make these figures really stand out, great work.  Making the skeleton's base different is a cool little touch as well as it make him stand out even more, which is probably important as in real life I am not sure you would catch that he is a skeleton at first glance.  25 well earned points, and keep the little ones coming.

  18. Fantastic brushwork, Iannick!
    Those are some characterful sculpts, great choice for the skelly too. My favorite is the ratcatcher, but I'd really like to see how the gardener makes rows and prunes with that gear! ;)
