Razorbacks make sense. They're boars. Chaos Halflings, they don't look like.

The idea for the Chaos halflings came up and caught quite a lot of attention and after a couple of weeks there were two team list a couple diffrent background fluff stories and Phil said he would consider doing some minis for the team. Eventually we got the Razorbacks.
Thats how I remember it anyway.

Shortly after that we were teased with a pic of a Dwarf in hockey gear green.

Now, if I remember right, the Razorbacks were some of the first sculpts Phil did. I do remember the thread and the hockey players but those pigs were avaliable long before that. They're what Galak has used for Chaos Halflings all along but I just don't see them as Chaos Halflings. Now I do not know what a Chaos Halfling is or what one is supposed to look like, I strongly suspect it wouldn't be a bi-pedal boar. I guess LoTR has poisoned me but I guess they'd look more like Gollum and it'd take a VERY long time for them to get that way, not the sort of thing you'd have a full team of anyway.

Nooooo...they're mutated little gluttons ("Spirited Away"!) with huge beer guts! Greed incarnate!
I think they're perfect for Chaos Halflings (and I can't be arsed converting anything else, so 16 Razorbacks will do me just fine.).

Which of the monsters were you thinking of Thads? I'm trying to get a picture (of your picture)... Wonderful film, by the way.

I was thinking of what happens to the parents...gluttony turning them into pigs.
(INCREDIBLE film. The Japanese are weird people, but they have some stunning artistry.)

Does anyone know what the rough delivery time is for phigs in the US?

Xtreme · Post by **Xtreme** » Fri Sep 17, 2004 1:37 pm

Every time I have ordered them it has been very fast. Wouldn't expect more then a week, as Phil has said things have slowed down a bit.

Got mine in about 4 seconds at the TKC

The ones I got in the mail came priority mail in 2 days. I think he is using regular mail for these to keep your costs down so a bit slower, but it still wont take very long.
