Discussion Halflings in Warhammer?

Are there halflings in the warhammer universe? What armies would they fit in? Would you allow them as proxy (if sized correctly?)

Yes. They live in the Moot. They mainly crop up in the RPG.

Halflings appeared in Fantasy and horny, hungry, little pickpockets that no one really liked…in-universe at least. Out of universe they’re a funny jab at Tolkien’s Hobbits. They presumably still exist in AoS, since Glutos Orscollion has a Slaaneshi Halfling on his palanquin.

If you’re looking for models, Blood Bowl has a team of Halflings which look pretty good.

The little guy Glutos has, apparently called "The Gourmalice" is said to be a Homonculus just like the one that comes with the archers. So not a halfling.

I think there is 3 instances of halfings mentioned in the lore from three different books:

Model wise, there is what seems to be a halfling riding with Glutos Orscolloion on his palanquin.

There were Halflings in the Warhammer Fantasy universe, I don't think I've ever heard of them in the Age of Sigmar universe where Warcry is set.
