Take Aim At Puppets War’s Halfling Snipers
September 28, 2017 by dracs
Puppets War has released a team of halfling snipers, ready to bring their fine aim and steady trigger finger to the table.
For halflings, Puppets War seems to have steered clear of the usual stereotypes of rotund seekers of comfort. These ones mean business.
From the initial pictures provided, it is quite hard to tell that they are intended to be halflings, but we can get a better idea of how they compare to their fellow troopers in this scale comparison.
Halflings are, perhaps, my favourite fantasy race (insert inevitable height joke here). The idea that, in a scifi setting, they would take the role of snipers, is rather fitting. Their small stature makes them naturally stealthy, even if they are unsuited to a straight up fight.
Would you take a shot with these?

I certainly would take a squad or two of snipers 😀 . Fingers crossed they’re in the upcoming IG dex.
Ah, new Ratlings. Big love for the old ones from GW, some of the first metals I ever painted as a kid but these fellas are definitely hitting me in the feels, especially if I do em in some rugged Cadian 8th or Tanith 1st n Only style uniforms…
Look ok, but not sure of the look of them for me. I have my eye on the new ones appearing from Macrocosm, at least in part as they have a female halfling sniper. You can find them at http://www.macrocosm.co.uk/product/halfling-snipers-flings/
is it me or does the helmeted guys look very starwars?
The original Ratlings looked very star wars – ranger-like with caps
I’m going to order those Puppets of War and paint them as Adeptus Arbites 🙂
that sounds awesome! love to see some pics when you’re done 🙂
