Van Halfling (Heresy Miniatures)

This mini was painted alongside the Zealot Wizard but finished a few days later. I have had this mini for years, sitting in the pile of unpainted stuff. I don't think I had any particular project in mind when I picked him up, I just thought he looked ace.

When I embarked on my 28mm Fantasy Project I dug Van Halfling out of the pile and set to work on him (meanwhile ordering lots of bits and bobs from across the interwebz - it will be an eclectic project in terms of manufacturers!).

Van Halfling is by Heresy Miniatures and comes with three right arm options including a flaming torch and a scroll. I love the the idea of a Halfling inquisitor/witch-hunter, and that will fit the emerging world populated by the various adventurers of the 28mm Fantasy Project. I imagine that he has been cast out by the organisation he worked for and is now allied with other adventurers as he seeks to redeem himself by hunting the things which lurk in the dark. And witches, no inquisitor can overlook some witch-hunting.

    Very droll :-) . Nicely done, but I can't see him being very effective in a land of full-size people...

      Thanks Colgar6, but never doubt the determination of a Halfling inquisitor!

    Well, I'd have bought him just for how cool he looked - and seeing the paintjob you've done on him, just makes him look even cooler! :-)
    Very off the wall and I reckon this little character will add loads of fun to the campaign :-)

      Thanks very much Wargame Addict; I suspect I bought him simply for the cool factor originally. :)

    I've had my eye on that figure for a very long time, being a big Van Helsing fan! Not sure if I ever did get him. Excellent stuff Pulp & thanks for reminding me of this one!

    Looks great dud. Quite like this mini can imagine him hunting goblins and kneecapping people with his hand crossbow.

      Funnily enough, I am looking at starting a project in a larger scale!
