Bit of help needed, please

Post by Geggster »

Way back in BBMag 6, there was a Halfling Playbook. At the back of the Mag, there was a few pictures of the GW minis used.

You may remember halflings giving others piggybacks (used as receivers) and a Halfling Maid with Beer Barrel over left shoulder.

Are these scratch based minis or are they on sale? Anybody know for sure, because despite a good look on GW Online, nothing appears.

Cheers.

Thanks chaps for the info.

The piggy back couple in the middle are certainly the base for the halfling receivers.

Really wanted to know if I could get the maid for coaching staff. Looks like that is going to be a no. Not to worry.

I've been trying to get that maid for over a year now. Still no luck (though I did miss out on at least one ebay auction)

Are you saying that you are selling him? Or just that you have him (na-na-na-na-na)?

If it's the former, I have a few things worth a trade.

you could bring him over this weekend.

1980's Halflings for sale

Post by Tritex »

Hi - don't know if this is of use but in my usual day to day contact with guys wanting to buy & sell mini's this guy has just advised he has a load of 1980's Halflings and 40k Dwarves for sale. To be fair on him getting a decent price outside of me buying & selling them on as I was aware of this thread I thought someone here may wish to drop him a line and do a deal. His e-mail is:
yvnnward@yahoo

Hopefully this helps - going to PM Geggster direct as he started this thread to give him a direct shout!

Good Luck - let us know!! 8)
