Halfling Light Cavalry - The Mounts

Not so long ago, I've shown the rider models for the halfling light cavalry with spears. These will normally fit on the dwarven ponies for a traditional mount, but if you like something a bit more quirky and fluffy, here are the sculpts for the proper halfling mounts. The prototype model was sculpted by Brad Shier, with some conversions for the other poses by John Pickford:

 






For an idea of relative size of rider to rooster, here's an example of the original prototype sculpted by Brad Shier, painted by him, with an unreleased rider that is now also in The Assault Group's hands;

  2. Surely the Halflings would just eat them.

    1. They have considered it, but have found it's much better to ride them in combat than to fight for their lives against an enraged rooster that's twice their size. They came to this conclusion after Bertygrin Fatbelly was pecked to death in his attempt.

  8. I've gotten to painting up the halfling roosters now, after having had them sitting in the cupboard in the painting queue.
    The miniatures are awesome, but the bases are simply sub par. The plastic so weak and wobbly that it wont retain its shape.
    I was (and am) very excited over the kickstarter, and was thrilled to recieve a great little extra drunken bard treat in the box when the chicken coop arrived.
    I was however sorry to see the bases being so shoddy. I assume you've bought them somehwere, and not made them. I'd say don't include any, or buy some stronger ones =)
    And keep churning out awesome miniatures. <3

    1. Hi Jaenz. Glad you like the figures and sorry to hear about the bases. I'm not actually affiliated to the kickstarter for them as I sold the rights to The Assault Group who did the kickstarter to get them in production. I don't know where they sourced the bases, but I'm pretty sure they don't make them.
      Cheers

  9. Thanks for your speedy reply! I've passed my comment on the happy folks at TAG, and hope they haven't bought a room full of poor quality bases =D Nothing wrong with the minis. Just silly to buy a mini WITH base, only to chuck the base in the bin and replace with a decent one.
