There are also the Halfling Bloodbowl players, one of whom I use for my Mordheim band that has a pot on his head. They are easily converted if found.<br />Reaper also has/had some nice looking hobbit figures.Terry Silverthornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02873668652853883440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9140646711960604590.post-39607438701869652882014-03-10T20:09:38.989-07:002014-03-10T20:09:38.989-07:00Thanks!

I don't think I actually bought the AD&D books until about 1984-5 and by then they had new cover art... I DO still have my original DM's guide, Monster Manual and Player's handbook - despite many purges, I've held onto them.... never look at them... but I've held on to them. timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09928949644765765070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9140646711960604590.post-85272856892336845742014-03-10T20:02:16.651-07:002014-03-10T20:02:16.651-07:00Cheers!

I'm so inspired I decided to return to my roots and squeeze in some fantasy stuff aside from my regular WWII figures. My DM's guide has a big red Efreeti on it probably like yours. I'm going with 15mm instead though.

I have a few of those GW halflings (probably enough to make up several stands of spears and archers if I ever get around to doing something like HOTT). I also have some newer Foundry halflings that fit in nicely with the GW ones in terms of proportions and general style (as opposed to the LOTR hobbits from GW or some of the thinner, less cartoon-like halflings from other sources). (of course, the Foundry ones are not chap, but I like the style and the variety of different characters).Fitz-Badgerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15510866929782142007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9140646711960604590.post-11834499239219325302014-03-10T13:50:08.535-07:002014-03-10T13:50:08.535-07:00Great painting, but man your Hobbits are not exact...Great painting, but man your Hobbits are not exactly Hollywood pretty, hey?
