Ah - my bad - I saw AoW and didn't realise / know the difference.

I thought Avatars were a manufacturer as I have some of their minis, so wondered why people were talking about someone selling Perrys stuff.
But then North Star had Avatars figures in their sale, and he was talking about possibly being the last chance to buy them.

All a bit confusing.

I thought you guys were talking about Age of Wigmar.

Suspect many would like to see that one go out of business.

MomMiniatures has a new unit of pikemen coming out which should raise some interest here.

Nice. Seems a bit bulky mayhaps...they might mix up nice with Gamezone's.

phew, such confusion. I was afraid avatar sof war has gone bankrupt. I don't know Architects of war so can't really say much about that. What a relieve

those mom pikes look good! to bad their facebook is all in spanish

red shift · « **Reply #3007 on:** February 04, 2016, 07:56:04 PM »

I assume the pikes will be metal rather than plastic? Any idea of how well they scale with warhammer?

tempting, but i think dont match the halflings i bought

The pikemen look great! The extra detail would make them good for front rank if they scale well with others, or maybe their own unit of veterans if they don't.

Am I missing something on the halfling KS? Some of the pledge levels include one of each stretch goal, but I don't see any stretch goals listed. They look like they would go well with some of the old halflings I've got -- which seems to be the point. I've already sunk my gaming budget into the Westfalia halflings, but still might like to get a set of these to round out the old figures if I can scrape together the funds.

Small world. Realized that I've met the guy running the halfling KS & been to his shop. I spend part of my work week right around the corner, so maybe I'll try to get a peek at the figures & ask about the stretch goals.

That will be interesting.
I had a look but wasn't sure whether I was keen.

The figures look small and so a size comparison would be interesting - there was a vast difference between the very early Citadel halflings and the later ones in the late 90s and which were similar scale to the Lumpings DoW unit

I also didn't think it had excited a lot of interest, just squeezing past the 2000$ mark.

Plus it is just a small number of figures - not something you would necessarily build large units from - so the compatibility with other ranges is important.

Compatibility has always been an issue, and is why they may be of some use to me. The small number of halflings I've already got are all over the scale. These look like they would fit with some of the middle-sized old halflings I have from Citadel and Grenadier, and maybe some of the (newer) ones from Goblin Factory. I don't like the style of these as much as the Westfalia figures, but again -- they look like they match the style as well as the scale of those other figures I've already got.

Not necessarily building an army, but maybe I can at least round up enough of similar scale for a militia unit now. If not, they end up as civilians, either in the towns/farms or guarding the baggage -- similar to some of the human civilians.
