Fur-Footed Halflings Next Up From Wargames Atlantic
June 12, 2019 by brennon
Building on the success of their first plastic sets, the Raumjager Soldiers and Skeleton Warriors, Wargames Atlantic are now working on a set of plastic Halflings for you to use on the battlefield.
This preview popped up on a SAGA: Age Of Magic Facebook group and was shared in our forums by user @torros. I think these fellows are looking very good indeed. One assumes we're going to see the spears and bows as two options for this kit with hopefully a smattering of additional weapons too.
With Warlords Of Erehwon featuring a Halfling army list and Age Of Magic being very open as to which force you use, I can see these making their way to the tabletop in their droves.
I really need to decide which of those games I'm going to play! I have a set of the Oathmark Dwarves and Goblins which I am just waiting to use as warbands in one of them.
What do you think of the Halflings from what we've seen so far?
"I can see these making their way to the tabletop in their droves..."
I do like!
The great thing about generic fantasy rules is there’s no need for halflings to automatically be rubbish. I think list building should emphasise quantity over quality but there’s no need for them to lose all the time (unless it’s me playing, obvs).
I like this interpretation. It makes sense that diminutive halflings would use a pike. After all, as Sergeant Colon pointed out, the good thing about a pike is that all the action is at the other end and far away from you.
@dracs good quote as ever……would beef up your shire army a bit ,particularly the bowmen……and you can write the narrative on how they got there!
Like to read the Re-enactors and UFO story when you finish writing it.
I’m afraid the writing is on the back burner a bit at the moment while I sort life stuff out, but as soon as I get to it I’ll send you the first finished draft.
That looks nice.
Yes! More halflings?. I never really wanted a halfling force at all, I then discovered warploques minis but there’s not really enough for a decent force. With these to bolster my warploque minis my little halfling force is definitely going to grow!!
Have you looked at Bridge Miniature’s Halflings? They are the ones Black Hat Miniatures used to do. Very characterful.
I haven’t, I’m off to have a look! ?
All that range is lovely . I had a few of the Orc Pirates when Crusader miniatures still owned the line
Hobbiton elite forming up.
They do look very cool.
@brennon is there any reason you have to pick just one of these games to use your minis in? They look / sound like quite different games to me but either should allow you to use your armies, so why not give both a try?
You can do what you like aye. By no means saying you have to pick.
