  1. Welcome back to Halfling Cities of Sigmar! This time there’s some hobbit Calvary to display! First off, here’s a freshly completed Freeguild General (on a pony). And though rules wise he doesn’t have a mount, he definitely looks way cooler with one. Then there’s some Demighryph knights WIP. I got all the base colors and washes on them, so all that’s left is layers of highlights! Expect to see completed rooster knights in the future. Let me know what you all think of these or if an army as a whole (or should is say half? 😉) Until next time!
  2. Welcome back to Halfling Cities of Sigmar blog! This time it’s a little update on a unit I painted a while back, but never shared. They were used as Freeguild archers previously, but now with that unit gone, these will be used as Shadow Warriors. Currently I’m working on Halfling demigryph knights and a Freeguild general, so expect that in neat future! That’s it for now! Hope you like what I’ve got! Until next time.
  3. Welcome back to the Halfling Cities of Sigmar Blog! This time I got a completed Hurricanum to show off. This is an integral part of the army I’m working on as well this army’s lore as a whole. The Halflings of StoutHill worship a deity know by many names: “The Great Rooster”, “The Mighty ******”, “The Ferocious one”, “The Provider”. Hobbits recognize two aspects of this God: Ferocity and Harvest. While ferocity aspect is very familiar to halflings on the battlefield, the aspect of Harvest is more common to farmers and families back in the villages. However, on the fields of battle this aspect may sometimes be seen as a glorious golden statue of The Provider, manned by a priestess, and surrounded with a variety of harvests. This inspires the hobbits to fight even harder, reminding them that they’re protecting their homeland, foreshadowing a big meal after the battle, or literally allowing them to snack on some food. The carriage is full of gifts from the Great Rooster: The whole thing is manned by a priestess determined to see the enemies of the Provider dead and Halfling bellies full: And that is it for this post. Let me know what you think! Hope you like what I’ve got! Until next time.
  4. Wow beautiful army! All the effort definitely paid off! 👏
  5. Hello traveler, nice of you to stop by. Sit back, relax and enjoy all the halfling goodness I got to offer. Okay, so it’s been over a year since the last post in this blog and there’s a good reason for it.. Kind of. Basically I didn’t do much hobby for a while, and then when I got back into it I decided to finish my entire Skaven army first, which was a lot of models. But now I’m back! Without further ado, here’s what halflings have been up to. Cities of Sigmar exists as an army now, and I think I’ll be playing hobbits as Hallowheart, thus a lot of magic, which means I’ll need a lot of casters. Here’s a recently completed Sorceress counts-as: And here’s the next big project: Halfling Hurricanum! The mage on the top is done, now onto the rest of the model: This is it for now, but expect more regular updates in the future (hopefully). Hope you like what I’ve got! Until next time.
  6. Looks awesome! Excited to see this project grow!
  7. Oh love it! I’ll post as the army grows 😁
  8. Thank you! I believe most of them are bits from the duadrin set.
  9. Hi there again, Finally got a little more hobby done. This time it’s an addition to Halfling greatswords! I still need to complete a standard banner, and then a unit of 20 will be complete. These are part of a small force for a local escalation league that starts in January. Next are demigryph knights and a free guild general! Also, I know I promised Halfling crossbowmen last time, so here’s a little WIP shot. Hope you like what I’ve got! Untile next time.
  10. They look awesome. I think in a right set up, these guys can be really good. They are cheap for an elite troop, especially when you take 30 of them. Keep em close and use the +1 to save trait to survive longer at 3+ save/ give them griffons ability +1 to hit for combat, so you are potentially looking at 61 attacks 2+/ 3+/ -1/ 1. They can be pretty nasty 😉
  11. You really do a phenomenal job with your free peoples! Love the leopard pattern! Keep em coming! *Also, what list do you currently run?
  12. That is awesome! Such a cool idea to include the animals too! Especially love the fox 😄
  13. Halflings are back after another three-month hiatus! It seems to be the trend for this blog. Anyway, a few days ago I was lucky to play my good friend Chuck Moore at local FLGS. He brought his Daughters of Khaine that he is taking to a Narrative Realms at War (RAW) event in England! Here's a link to his blog! (In case you guys didn't know Chuck has a blog). http://therealmgate.blogspot.com We played Blood and Glory scenario, which worked to my benefit since I could bunch up a lot of my key units in one corner, with them benefiting from one another. Long story short, I was able to outshoot his army and my Griffon was a total meatgrinder on his one charge, so by turn four there was not much left of the poor ladies. I will say that I'm definitely more of a competitive rather than a narrative player, so I had a tough time getting into a narrative playstyle. However, Chuck managed to keep the game very lighthearted and made it fun, letting me know when I was taking the game a bit too seriously. In the end, while neither army won major, Halfling snatched a minor victory! Another win for the small guys! Currently, I'm working on a unit of Halfling crossbowmen so expect some progress shots of those in the future. That's it for today! Hope you like what I've got, Until next time!
  14. Nice! You should get some games in and post it!
  15. Oh yeah! What models are you using? Post pics!!
  16. Hey! Do you mean for the whole Halfling army? I just use Free Peoples Allegiance warscrolls, and make sure do model halflings appropriately.
  17. Welcome back! Here's the newest addition to Halfling force! He is as swift and furious as a gryphhound, and makes up for his size with unparalleled bravery and cockiness! Meet Sparkles the rooster! Sparkles will be attending local Coalescence event, along with Halfling Free Peoples army and a Steam Tank. Expect coverage of that event soon after! That's it for today! Hope you like what I've got, Until next time!
  18. Thank you! Expect more in the future!
  19. Halflings are back again!! This time the hobbit forces attended a doubles tournament in Ohio hosted by "Rend 4, Age of Sigmar War Gaming" club! An unlikely alliance was formed between the forces of the Moot and the bloody pillagers of Khorne. Here's a bit of fluff on that! Since I didn't attend a tourney for a while, I wanted to make this one special and make my first display board, and boy did it pay off! Event itself consisted of 16 teams and 32 players battling it off to see who was superior! Each player brought a 1000 point list, so in the end it was a 2000 point battle. There were three games, with each lasting three hours, which was more than plenty of time. Me and my teammate brought middle of the road lists and were just hoping to stay on mid tables, and man were we wrong. . Our first game was against double Slaves to Darkness list with lots of chaos knights, and Total Conquest scenario. The guys, Josh and Nick, were newer players, but knew their rules very well, and were great fun to play against! They decided to give us the first turn, and that was their biggest fault as both my teamamate and I got lucky on our run rolls and grabed the side objectives early on. From then on we just had to weather the knights' charge and stay put, as we had a large advantage in numbers! We got 30/30 points this game, scoring both our secondary objectives as well! Going into game two, we were slighlty fired up since we unexpectadly did so well our first game! This time, our opponents, Rob and Matt, combined the forces of Nurgle and Daughers of Khaine (They also might have had one of the best team names "Dirty Girls"). The scenario was Starstrike. The first objective fell right into the middle of the table and large unit of bloodletters quickly snatched it away. However what the game came down to was where the other two objectives were going to fall, and they dropped exactly where we wanted them to, which won us the game. However, by the end of the game there was only one brave halfling left on the table. This game we also scored 30/30 possibe points! Pressure was one! Doing way better than we thought we would, our last game was against the "Defending Champs", Michael and Roger, who also scored 60/60 possible points so far. While we were excited to be on table 1, we also knew that now we were playing against top players. Our opponents brough a Stormcast and a Fyreslayers alliance list (+ flamesphyre pheonix). The scenario was Scorched Earth, and quite honestly we got pretty schooled this game. Our opponents outplayed us every turn, and we lost a crucial priority roll in the middle of the game. I also did not use my griffon as effectively as I could've, which Roger pointed out in the end of the game. Overall, we got crushed, but managed to score 5 points (due to the kindness of our opponents). This game was defientely a learning experience and showed us that there is much room for growth! In the end of the tournament we finished 5th out of 16 teams. Not too bad considering we were hoping for mid-tables! What was the most exciting though is that we got both "Best Combined Alliance" and "Best Chaos Alliance"! On the side note, there was also a pianting competition and my halfling ranger ended up taking home "Best Painted Single Model" award! At the end of the day, this was an absolutely amazing event, with a great TO and community which loves their hobby! There is also talk of even bigger GT-type event in the future, which is very exciting! ****Here's a link to the "Rend 4, Age of Sigmar Wargaming Club". You guys should definetely check them out! It's a very active Age of Sigmar group in Ohio, with some amazing people running it!*** https://www.facebook.com/groups/Rend4/?fref=gs&dti=274472279563016&hc_location=group_dialog That's it this time! Hope you like what I've got, Until next time!
