A New Unit Prepares Their Halberds for Divine Rage
November 12, 2015 by dracs
With all the dwarfs and elves appearing for Divine Rage, MomMiniatures are now taking the time to bring out a halberd wielding unit for the humans.
The halberd is an amazingly versatile weapon, suitable for dealing with both cavalry and infantry. Plus, being in essence a great big axe with two spiky bits, it looks rather intimidating. It is therefore unsurprising it has remained as something of a ceremonial weapon even to this day.
If this model is a sign of what a whole unit would be like, I think MomMiniatures will be producing some excellent sculpts. The detail is good and really caries across the image of a grizzled veteran of the battle field.
Of course, the pose might be considered a little dull, but its a halberdier, he's hardly going to be flying through the air.
Do you like the stuff MomMiniatures are making? Would you choose to field a unit of this guy?

The pose may be ‘a bit dull’ on his own, but will look a lot better when part of a unit as it’s supposed to be.
Also, the most important thing that you overlooked – poofy sleeves! 🙂
Very nice! I’m mostly topped up with human medieval figures, but I’m curious to see what the unit will look like.
Seems it’s either “oh look foot on rock syndrome” or “dull pose”. Sculptures just can’t win!
Pose that looks like it’ll rank up. It gets my vote 🙂
As always there will be one that just doesn’t quite fit
It wouldn’t be right without it
