Westfalia Tease Plans For 3D Printer Friendly Halflings Project
March 18, 2020 by brennon
Westfalia Miniatures has been showing off some early renders of a new band of Halflings which might be coming to Kickstarter soon. See what you make of these furry-footed fellows!
This selection of 3D sculpted Halflings have been designed to help expand upon their already extensive range of Fantasy folk. All of them are looking particularly awesome and it's nice to see Westfalia exploring more options beyond the traditional hand sculpting method (which isn't going anywhere I should reassure you).
The collection is going to be aimed at those with 3D printers at home, allowing you to download the STL files and then give them a go in a DIY fashion.
Westfalia also postulated that they might look at options to get pre-printed miniatures or cast miniatures as well. As it stands they are still taking the time to work out how they'll approach the release of these little fellows but it seems like Halfling fans are going to be happy in the near future.
I like that companies are pursuing all manner of different options with the growth in technology and resources in the industry. I think all the various sculpting methods have their benefits and drawbacks and the advent of more home printers is a really fascinating move in the industry which we've been watching closely.
Also, this seems like it would be a great little band of Halfling brigands in your skirmish games so you certainly need to pick them up. I love the idea of running a band of much more dastardly Halflings!
What do you make of these new previews?

That’s a great looking bunch!
If they go on normal retail, i’ll be thinking about getting them because, i don’t plan on getting into 3D printing (too dangerous ;), i would run out of storage space!)…
.stl files for download? I’ve never been interested in halflings but those sculpts are so beautiful, it’d be a shame not to. I’m sure I could find space on my build plate to stuff a few wee folk on there…
Awesome sculpts to add to their awesome range of fantasy miniatures…..
they could work as Hobbits just add floke to their feet.?
A war scythe in halfling scale? I guess it could happen.
Overall good figures to look into the use of. I’m thinking with people stuck indoors with home printing tech this may be the way to have small businesses survive.
That first halfling reminds me of The Monkey King 😀
They all look cool.
