Here is the start of my WIP Halfling Blood Bowl team...
"The Fighting Ankle Biters of the Mootland" or the
Ankle Biters for short.
I have just started to assemble these guys so I figured a good WIP group shot would be a great place to start. Since Halflings suck at BB they are dirt cheap (30,000 gcs) to hire. So I need about 7 more to round out the team. I also dug out a halfling hot pot for the master chef I will hire for the team.
Any seasoned BB player will also tell you Halflings need a lot of players since a AV of 6 means lots of injuries or worse. Hence needing so many of the half-pints
So in and amongst my assembling of my CD force watch here for updates to the team... You'll notice I stole some inspiration from Geckilian on the trophy. Indeed a great assistant coach figure. Mine comes from the big hat from my as yet not finished Taurus Rider, moral of the story.. never throw anything away.
Yeah I hear ya about the second Treeman, right now I need to order a bunch more figs. when I used to play I remember Treeman whacking the crap out of my Orcs. Hmmm three Treeman beating everything before them to a pulp.. look out Ogres! Whack! Whack! Whack!
Try this link, general discussion on the fate of the hat! That is what happens when I'm to tired when I post; glad I kept the hat, that guy is a genius!

I like your suggestion, perhaps two will indeed be inhabiting the front line. Good thing is that the league won't be starting till the fall so I have plenty of time. Plus halflings are so quick to paint.
Dude you'll kick my butt. These are a sideline (pardon the pun) to assembling my CD force. Plus I don't even hve all the models yet!
Halflingy goodness! I love the models
Too bad they can't fight their way out of a wet paper bag when it comes to Blood Bowl!
Dang, you used the hat I wanted as part of a cool idea/conversion
Team looks good. I do like the trophy. Going to add a plinth to the hat and some handles? I still don't get why halflings can get a treeman as their star player...
Yep I'm going to GS the bottom of the trophy. Sorry Dude!
Halflings get Treeman because its written into the fluff of BB. basically the Treeman feel sorry for them, plus Halflings are patient with long winded Treemen stories...
Shame to hear it Sharkboy. Still, got some squelchy Nurgleesque things now, eh?
Willmakrk, no worries. Just make it look as good as the rest of your models and we're cool
It does seem like they've added the Treeman as a balance to their lack of strength etc and then tried to justify it with makedo fluff. Oh well, such is life.
PM sent.
Don't worry there HB looks like I'll be getting another treeman to inhabit the front line. AV10 (highest in B
means lots of kicking the crap out of opposing players.
Then meet gang tackle from 3 trees!
Update:
With a trade to Sharkboy I now have 5 more halflings on the way for my squad as well as star player Puggy Baconbreath.
Should have photos of WIP shots tonight.
UPDATE
Here is my first player completed: the first Treeman to inhabit the front line!
Now for my first squad of Halflings to join the team. It gives a good look as to the color scheme for the team: red, black and white.
All in all I'm pleased with them. But its late and I'm off to be. I'll post more thoughts on the formation of the team later.
I'll get more detailed in terms of shots as I go...
Nice colour scheme, I like the use of lichen on the treeman.
@HB - Halflings did actually have treemen in thier armies in previous editions. Unfortunately they also had sheep and goat riders, and a precursor to pegusus knights mounted on swanns
More Info:
I was mega tired so I didn't add this in:
I now have the next 4 primed and some paint on them as well. I might be going the route of only 9 halflings and trees to start so I might not need to paint too many more of the little guys, even though I just got 6 more of the second edition models.
Hmmm. Good stuff here, i always enjoy pounding halflings and running rings around treemen with a skeleton! 'course i can't pick up the ball with one! (Though a tomb king once made a successful intercept!
) Must post my CD team i've started (Big hats all!)

Thats why if you play me you'll be running into 2 Treeman, and maybe even 3 when I hire Deeproot Strongbranch... run around that!
To was or not to wash them, that is the question...
Well as I'm playing orcs, I come down firmly on the not to wash side
No the paint style you goof!
