https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/584137481/tag-28mm-halfling-militia-rooster-rider-miniatures/description  ]img] The Fund Goal. Please help TAG launch its range of Halfling Militia Rooster Riders, by backing our latest campaign, here on Chickstarter! To Fund this expansion of the White Knights Miniature Imperium, we are looking to raise £500 to help us to bring these 16 new miniatures to life. This poultry sum covers the cost of the production moulding of the 8 new packs of new 28mm sized, pewter miniatures. 
I backed TAGs last KS for their Dwarves which went nice and smoothly and has delivered to everybody before the due day (last few shipments just going out but they'll be in peoples hands before June which was the target) The minis were well cast and nice and characterful so if you need some Halfling chicken riders (or just some riding chickens) or some of their existing Halfling militia on foot which can also be selected as a reward get your pledging card out and jump in

Backed to get my wife some Halflings for a Kingdom of Rhordia allied detachment. Very reminiscent of the old GW Halflings!

Damn I want these. Just need to come up with the monies, now.
Also I have to say, I really love how tongue-in-cheek all of the text is throughout the campaign page. Good stuff.

We'll find out soon enough eh.

£3.50 each for metal cavalry models(albeit short ones) is too much?
I'll wait to see the pics for the other stuff, but I expect I'll have finally found some Halfling bowmen for my Mordheim Averlanders when I do. Glad to see more of WK's stuff making it into the wild through TAG, and hallelujah; a bloody ruler scale pic.

I need to acquire plastic Skavenslaves, can you help?
I have a blog now, evidently. Featuring the Alternative Mordheim Model Megalist.

I think the value is pretty fair here. Should be able to get about half a dozen KoW regiments at my pledge level.

I wonder how many Halfling Knights and Halfling Ranger Cavalry in Kings of War are going to be chickening out?
I am looking at one unit of each, right now....
The Auld Grump - I have a weird feeling that this may be the start of a KoW trope....

Double Dipper Day!
Hi
This afternoon I've added a new Pledge Level to the Rewards.
Pledge £67 for any 10 packs of your choice, twice the size of the Dipper Level at £35 for those that have larger appetites but still can't make their minds up...
(Basically, I've been asked to add a level between £34 and £95, and doing this way saves you the Backers a little extra of your hard earned corn)

Update #10 Apr 29 2016
£10K Stretch met, and Scans for the Piggy-backers and Zombies
Hello!
Firstly thank you for pushing us over the £10,000 Funding Stretch Goals, its been amazing to watch this little Project hatch and spread its wings for the last 10 days or so, and I'm super excited to see how it progresses in the next day or so...
The £10,000 level we are releasing our Halfling Artillery.
Shrympe Artillery
The Crew men will be all new, so I can't show you any images yet, but the guns will be taken from the main TAG range, either a Shrympe or three little Sled guns.
Sled Guns x 3
All of these will be available as Add-on or as choices at the Dipper Levels, so Pledge an extra £8 for Crew or either of the two types of Artillery pieces, or £35 for an Artillery Unit Builder comprising of two Shypmes, three sled guns and two Artillery Crew packs.
Ok, to clear up the final scan pictures of all the other Halflings funded by this Chickstarter, these are the scans of the Piggy-back Riders and Zombies;
HLM023
HLM024
heads from this mix.
HLM033 Zombie Halflings
It also came to my attention that I'd forgotten to show you that the advancing Halfling with bows, also have these mixed left hands with arrows and lunch...
HLM020 hands
Ok, onward to the £12,000 Stretch Goal and yet another Exclusive Limited Edition miniature...

...and as for another Stretch... At £15,000 we make the Halfling Field Kitchen that some Backers have mention on the Comments thread.
I doubt there is time to push that far, but who know...
Thank you for you current Pledges
