Compare the 95th Rifles Emperor's Chosen Halflings and Men squads from Victoria Miniatures. Learn which modular kit fits your army theme, budget, and assembly preference.
Quick answer
Choose the 95th Rifles Halflings if you want a compact sniper squad with unique character heads; pick the Men for a full-size, push-together rifle regiment with a sergeant included.
Scale and unit role differences
The Halflings are a sniper squad on 25mm bases, designed for skirmish or specialist roles. The Men are standard line infantry, also on 25mm bases, but built to form the backbone of a rifle regiment. This affects how they fit into your army: Halflings excel as hidden marksmen, while Men hold the line and advance.
Both kits are modular 3D printed and come on Snap Trays for easy part identification. However, the Men are described as 'push-together', meaning you can test-assemble them without glue, while the Halflings require more traditional assembly with minimal cleanup.
Price and value per model
The Halfling squad (10 models) costs USD 27.09 (catalog comparison price USD 43.00), while the Men squad (also 10 models) costs USD 33.91 (catalog comparison price USD 52.99). The Men include a named sergeant (Sgt Harker), adding command value. If you're on a tight budget, the Halflings give you more models per dollar, but you lose the sergeant and the push-together convenience.
Trade-offs at a glance
- Assembly method: Halflings: traditional assembly with minimal cleanup. Men: push-together, test-assemble without glue. If you dislike glue or want to swap parts mid-build, the Men are more forgiving.
- Command inclusion: Halflings: no named sergeant. Men: includes Sgt Harker as a command figure. For a standalone squad, the Men give you a ready leader; with Halflings you'll need to source or convert one.
- Visual distinction: Halflings feature Grimdark Empire Shako and Kilmarnock heads; Men use standard rifleman heads. Halflings offer more personality per model; Men maintain a uniform line infantry look.
