Spring Clean: Halfling Hullabaloo
The Most Halfling-y Thing I Found
When I saw these I bought as many as I could. They are perfect for my Halflings and I was worried that rather than an army of Halflings it would look more like an army of tiny humans but with things like this I can really make it look proper Fantasy Halfling.
I hope you guys enjoy this project and please leave a comment.
I have a bad habit of not taking pictures of things so I’m using this project as a sort of challenge to take a picture at every step and explain to you guys as clearly as possible what I’m doing.
As you can see the pigs are properly huge and look very Fantasy
The Carts are full of fruit and vegetables which the Halflings need to bring with them into battle for a half time snack
The First Step was to paint the Pigs with GW Emperors Children after spraying them with Wraithbone
Then a Drybrush with 50/50 Emperors Children and White, I deliberately tried to make the brush strokes visible to simulate a bit of hair
Then a light Drybrush of pure White. Emperors Children has a hint of purple in it which helped to shade the pigs
Then a dab of Black Wash for their eyes. I prefer Black Wash to straight Black paint. I think it looks a little smoother and leaves a tiny bit of the base colours showing through rather than making black pits, that being said anything smaller than a giant pig isn't getting eyes in my army
Here is my tiny Pallet. I find an old medicine packet works great for tiny amounts of paint like this that can spread out all over the place on a larger pallet. 
Some dots of White for Eyes
The Finished Pigs
The Finished Pig and Cart. Don't Worry the Carts will be next, they might even take two entries to cover the whole process.
Size Comparison.
