The Fimir of Albion - out of the mist

[Mr Saturday]

Huzzah, I've got the first fimir warrior up on his feet! I had to use at least one Heroquest fimir. He's almost ready for priming, just some more filing once the green stuff is cured. He's going to be a fimm warrior unit champion. Now, if only I could make my mind up as to a skin tone...

 

[Releonhardt]

Niice, great sculpting work there What rules will you be using for them or are you homebrewing some?

 

[Mr Saturday]

Cheers. I'll be using the warriors of chaos book, it gives me the most options. Mark of Nurgle to represent the fimir mist, meargh as sorcerer general, fen beasts as trolls and so on.

 

[Santawraith]

I have a whole box of these guys never knew what they were. (no one else where I am did either.) I think its in the attic right now hmm.

Looking good saturday I am gonna keep a eye on this plog

 

[Kirgan]

Great work it is pity because GW don't use them any more they have excellent story :devil2:

 

[Mr Saturday]

They are a very interesting race indeed. GW allude to them in the new edition, so they are still part of the game universe. @Santawraith, a whole box eh? Nice. Hopefully I'll be updating this plog pretty regularly. My new years decision to start fimir AND chaos dwarves may bite me in the ass yet, and of course, takes time away from the vampires...

 

[sea.man]

You`ve got some serious sculpting skills - very beauty full.

sea.man :konrad:

 

[Mr Saturday]

I didn't sculpt the mini, he's an old Heroquest model. I did, however, re-sculpt his hand and parts of his feet and base. His old base was the devil himself to cut away. I guess maybe 70% of a model was as much as I've sculpted myself.

 

[sea.man]

still perfect or even too much for me

 

[Mr Saturday]

You are too kind sir.

 

[veiled]

you've done 70% of the sculpting on this model? the only difference i see is a weapon swap, plastic marauder cloak added and a new base?

 

[Mr Saturday]

No indeed, not this model. 70% of A model (which would have been casualty markers I did some time ago), not this one.

 

[Mr Saturday]

Behold! My first one-eyed fimir shambles out of the mists. He was a bit of a trial as far as picking a skin-tone was concerned, but as fimir are half human I went with a more fleshy tone. I'm pretty happy with him, especially as it means my fimir army is actually off the blocks, even if it is only the first one.

Now I can back to my now quite dusty half-painted corpse cart.

 

[Disciple of Nagash]

Great model, very unusual. The paintjob is very good as well, like the extra touches like the tattoos.

 

[Nikos]

Really nice work, flesh tone and tattoos are very well done

 

[Cuzzy]

I don´t like the model, but your painting is sublime!
Kudos to you sir

 

[Mr Saturday]

Thanks all. He's a bit of a keystone for me, I'm happy to barrel into the rest of the army now that I've gotten this guy into the cabinet.

 

[count kill alot]

Love the one-eyed fimir brings me back to my first fantasy board game, oh did I mention that your awesome.

 

[Mr Saturday]

Why thanks indeed.

 

[Kirgan]

Very nice I like it

 

[dimihamuzu]

well he looks excellent, especially love his cape.. but.. what is that thing!? from counts kill a lot's post i would guess that the fimir is a long gone race in the warhammer fantasy universe?

 

[Mr Saturday]

Exactly so. The fimir have been relegated to the mists and fens of the old world since about 3rd edition. Because I like torturing myself with practically impossible projects, I've decided to build an army of these cyclopean gents.

 

[dimihamuzu]

your building an army of them!? does the army consists of various troops, elites and heroes like the current GW armies? so .. i guess that would mean countless hours lurking on ebay, and i would imagine they are very hard to find, and expensive to boot.. but if you somehow succeed, i guess the bragging right is well worth the effort aye.. well best of luck to you sir.. looking forward to seeing more..

 

[Mr Saturday]

Yep, there's enough out there a build a full list. I'll be using a fair amount of humans as well, as the army is set in Albion they will be Celtic types. They will provide large units of infantry, chariots and cavalry. I have a most of the fimir I need for heroes, lords, specials and core. I need a few more fimir nobles, fen beasts and infantry, but I'm getting there. Next up will be a unit of fianna fimm (ogres) once I crawl out from under the mound of work I have on!

 

[Mr Saturday]

Next up, a hooded fimm champion, still wip, needing a tail and, well, hands.
