Old Grenadier Copplestone Halfling with Sword

Old Grenadier Copplestone Halfling with Sword (no product code)

Here is a doubtless one of the finest halfling miniature available, from the hands of the master Mark Copplestone. Nicely poised on the chubbier side of the slim style. The only issues with this gorgeous miniature is that it's only available from Italy & when you take into account shipping they are going to cost.

Secondly the quality sets an unfair standard for other halfling miniatures. Well done for outstanding work Mr Mark Copplestone.

However, all is not lost you can buy Mark Copplestone's own halflings which are just as amazing.
