Halflings - Update 2
These are some of the units I have painted so far

Grail Reliquary
I have always wanted one of the original original Grail Reliquary units. I looked around on Etsy for some alternative models lately and came across this excellent piece:

The "leader" of the reliquary base is actually a 3D printed priest model, originally meant to complement Empire troops I think but works well here.
The other miniatures are actually a mixture of a range of different sprues that I got from eBay, they include:
28mm Gripping Beast viking hirdmen
Conquest Medieval archer sprues 28mm Dark ages
Oathmark Human Infantry sprue (NEW TO RANGE)
Frostgrave Soldiers 28mm Sprue
This worked out a lot cheaper than any other option and gives a bit of a unique look to the unit.

Half an Army
After seeing some of the Wargames Atlantic Halflings and snapping up a box, then going on to look at a cheap deal on the Kings of War Halflings (which it turns out I hate) and then moving on to the ttCombat and Maxmini figures, I now have half an army done and half to go!
You can use these with the excellent One Page Rules as well

Imperium - Dusty Necrons - 001
So this would never be my choice of army but I thought, it comes with the magazine, let us give it a go
Imperium - Dust Wolves 001
So yes... I subscribed to the Imperium Magazine.
Dust Wolves - not Space Wolves... Dust Wolves... a desert type planet origin with large dust storms obscuring most of the surface.
A simple paint scheme similar to my original space marines I did over 20 odd years ago (Dark Templars)
Using the decals from Space Wolves for a wolf image
Basic bases at the moment using some crackle type GW paint
Some toned down muted colours with subtle highlighting
