A week late but hey better late than never. Here is the bulk of the Halfling army. Or at least the Citadel side of things. It will be expanded as I find ranges (both old and new) that fit with it.

Woah, that's a big collection of cute little guys
My favourite background noise/pictures when painting is a great little cartoon called adventure time.
This episode in particular could might help with halfling battle strategisings

Thanks lads - apart from defending their homeland against hordes of goblins and orcs they have managed to find them selves in a spot of bother with a bunch of Fimir from the bogs of Connaght and for some reason challenged them to a battle :)

I'll give that cartoon a go then Aiteal. Anything to help the painting.

There is something special, about halflings gathering on mass to battle. I have tried to collect some halflings, but nothing to the extent of yours. Well done on collecting these minis. I look forward to seeing them painted.

What a pretty muster- I'm especially pleased to see a stinker gollum in the scout party! :lol:

Thanks G2 - this started off just collecting the Lord of the Rings Hobbits, then I got a bunch of the prelslottas and now it is an almost complete collection of Halflings & Gnomes from the 80's with a few extras thrown in.

@ Fimm - of course Gollum has to be there, best scout in the army :grin: Now just waiting for the nice friendly wizard that you have for me.

Cripes! I can't believe how fast you have got this many together.

No Marauder ones?

There are a couple of Marauder ones in there, stuffing their faces in the back rows. I had 3 bits of luck getting them together; a great ebay haul, Kev from stunties.com and Padre finding Harbul all in the space of a couple of weeks.

True dat! I want to like them but can't. I have let full collections of Orcs and Goblins pass through my hands but there is just something 'off' about them. Having said that I like the Chaos Dwarves and have to give the regular Dwarves a go sometime :grin:

Been a while since I did anything with this it seems but I have been busy gathering support troops and the like. Everything is cleaned up (although I keep finding feckin mold lines), undercoated and stuck to pennies or slotta bases. I even started painting some of them :) mainly thanks to 2 things - the scenario that myself and the other Irish lads are hosting at Knavecon and Whiskey Priests How to do Oldhammer thread

Without further ado here are some WIP shots - criticism and praise welcome.

Cool project! You can never have enough halflings.

Really looking forward to seeing more.
 
Re: [MUSTER] The Halflings of Apple Orchard - Updated with p

Looking good John. The one on the far right is a big lad isn't he ;)

Right now they have a very Jaeger feel with all the grey on their uniforms.

Very impressive. It warms my snotling collector's heart. You can never have enough diminitive critters on the table!

I have a gaming question. You put them on round bases - is it because you want to use them with War of the Rings (Ring? Rings?)?

Re: [MUSTER] The Halflings of Apple Orchard - Updated with p

Glad you like them Luikki. I've put them on round bases so they can be used in skirmish games or on movement trays for mass combat.
