Sci-fi halfling snipers from Warblade Miniatures Kickstarter.
I love these little guys and how they look like some of the early GW/Citadel fantasy halflings. Funny, cartoonish, and not very "realistic", just the way I like them. I think they fit in well with other minis of this style, such as the space pirate orks I painted recently, or old school GW space goblins. A bit of whimsy for "grim dark" science fiction.
All 12 together. Should have been a baker's dozen. 😄
These are fantastic! I particularly like the two in the WW2 commando stype knit caps with the silenced pistols! The are all really fun, though! Wonderful paint job!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I like those ones, too. And the ones in the cloaks. And all of them. lol
DeleteThe guns are pretty fragile though. I did an accidental bounce test with one and the silencer part broke off. I glued it back on with a tiny dab of superglue, and now I have forgotten which one it was. Seems to be holding, anyway. But I am trying to avoid further stress tests!
Ha-ha! Yikes! my accidental stress tests tend to be more disastrous!
DeleteI also love that there is at least one spotter with binoculars... wish there were more of those among sci-fi sniper types!
Excellent looking old school halfling snipers! Very much 1980s cool!
DeleteBest Iain
Thanks, Iain! They were fun to paint! True about 1980s cool. lol
DeleteMakes me long for more minis of that aesthetic, with a variety of sci-fi types, characters, races, etc. Maybe even some beaky space marines. :D
