New Camera



Well I have become increasingly frustrated with the poor level on my photos and with a trip to Europe on the cards in a couple of weeks I took the opportunity to upgrade to a new photographic weapon....Olypmus 310 with 14mp and 10x optical zoom for the bargain price of only $160 AUD.

Anyway here are the latest results of my new toy.....a great improvement I think but still not 100% perfect. Also keep an eye out for my next unit on the cards which I am over half way through painting and is already set to be a cracker with loads of character........Halfling Witchhunters none the less!!!

1st up my latest unit being a gnome warband.








New photos of my older units
















Oh and I found the following guy online(again not my work), pretty amazing huh, Frodo from the old citadel LOTR range......luckily I have two of these to paint up.

Gnomey Goodness

Well to have a lil break from halflings I decided to paint up a small Gnome Mercenary unit. The idea behind these guys is they are ruthless gnome mercenaries who offer their services to the highest bidder......unfortunately for them the only race that would benefit from having gnomes in their army is poor defenseless rotund halflings who call on their services at times of need for a lil extra muscle.

I basically starting picking up the odd gnome on E-bay while on the hunt for old skool halflings and walla I soon had enough for a full unit.






Oh and some cool halfling images stolen off the web

OMG YOU ACTUALLY POSTED SOMETHING

Hmmm just skulled a glass of expired milk.....not nice.

Over half a year and no updates, well I have actually painted something!!! Two new halfling units in fact....Pec's Halfling Rangers (which I am very stoked with btw) and Lil Pea's Halfling Spearmen (which I felted the colour scheme sucked the big one and didn't work at all but what are you going to do?

Minis consist of a wide range from Citadel C11, Marauder (the tiniest and hardest halflings to paint, period), some Grenadier halfings, Bob Olley Essex Halflings and Harlequin Halflings (probably my favourite and smoothest to paint yet).

I'll try and get more individual pictures up soon........promise.
