Halflings, from memory, were:

4 2 4 2 2 5 1 8, they were armed with Bows, and had the Skirmisher Rule, and could pass through forests easily. Past editions gave them the Fighting Cocks, and the Hot Pot, Militia Men (Spearmen with same stats).

What would you like to see....

What about the introduction of war pigs?

Or, Geese Bombers?

Or, Combined Harvester of Souls?

All appeared pretty much in Citadel Journal 36.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/437675/4055612.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/437675/4055612.page GMT Bringing Halflings into the 8th Ed! http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/437675/4055644.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/437675/4055644.page GMT Bringing Halflings into the 8th Ed!

The non GW halfling books has halfling type virtues such as the Honey Comb (+1S and Frenzy I think).]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/437675/4059634.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/437675/4059634.page GMT Bringing Halflings into the 8th Ed!

My friend has an OOP model of a halfling hot pot catapult. Pretty cool model if you ask me.

I believe that I read in the Empire rumor thread that halflings were indeed making a comeback in the next Empire army book. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/437675/4059760.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/437675/4059760.page GMT Bringing Halflings into the 8th Ed!

Special rules is nobody cares.
Hot pot counts as a unit filler with the trapper upgrade.

The idea that halflings were anything but throw away garbage infantry was a mistake.

The halfling hot pot is actually fairly deadly. Buring hot soup S3/6 (from memory) -3 AS.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/437675/4091630.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/437675/4091630.page GMT Bringing Halflings into the 8th Ed!

Yes exactly. I'm not saying that those weren't the rules, I'm saying those rules were stupid.
Midgets don't make for great archers.
Crossbows sure, but bows?

Halfling Hot Pot (Rare)

Something like that anyway.

Cowes, they would have Hay Carts that can hide units inside almost like an assassin in a unit, basically you attack the cart and then 20 Halfling Millitia start attacking you, ect


The Cowes would be slow Cavalry MV 6 or 7 but grant them Toughness 3 rather than the infantries 2. The army should focus on horrible stats but lots of heart but not go to hordey so they need lots of abilities to circumvent their weakness's ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/437675/4143844.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/437675/4143844.page GMT Re:Bringing Halflings into the 8th Ed! http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/437675/4146288.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/437675/4146288.page GMT Bringing Halflings into the 8th Ed!
