The Fimir of Albion

[Rochie]

Hey Rochie. You may have come across these somewhere else indeed...

Thanks for the shove to start a thread here, well past time!

Go away outta that, it's a pleasure to seem them on my favourite forum!

Hey, those savage orc bodies make much better fimir than they do orcs! The heads look great and I'll like very much to see a few of the conversions painted. Have you thought of going all out and correcting the number of fingers and toes? Might seem like a small detail but the difference in # of digits between the metal ones and conversions screams out.

Really like this project, I cant wait to see it develop!

[Mr Saturday]

Thanks all. @Spooktalker: I did consider it, but I figured if I did do that I'd be as mad as a bag of crabs by the time I was done. There is another fellow doing a fimir army at the moment who IS doing the digits and all I can say is well done and good luck! Here's his blog:

Hopefully the paintjobs will help take people's eyes off the digit issue. I've one fimm left to finish greenstuffing, then it's onto painting. I'm pretty damn curious to see how they look painted too.

Are you going for the test colour scheme or something a bit different?

cheers

[Mr Saturday]

I'll probably stick pretty close to the tester, but with more tattoos. I'll know a lot more about whether I'll stick with that scheme once I have the first couple of converted fimm done.

That's a hell of a rebuild project!! Gonna have to get these little sausage fingers more proficient with the sculpting, I'm being put to shame!!!

Wow great work, love seeing inspired projects like this.

Have you seen this site yet Herr Saturday?

I hadn't seen it, thanks for the link. I'd come across most of the books from TWF and such though. I use the chaos dwarf indy GT list, which I like a lot.

I wonder if he has plans for a fimir book...

[abhorsen950]

I've read about these in the original WFRP book which is sat on my gaming shelf. Always been fascinated by them. Excellent work to you Sir, the models are fantastic and I'm really impressed.

I'll be following this closely.

I have about 8-10 of the fellas from the last picture hanging around here somewhere...my kids play Hero Quest with them. Must get around to painting them.

Cheers folks. The Heroquest fimir do seem to be fairly prolific, as far as fimir go. I'm only putting the one in as a nod to the venerable old fellow.

Next up are some new weapon experiments. After ruthlessly pillaging the idea from Fimm, and getting some dwarf axes from the excellent Old Fogey over at TWF, I've put together some Celt style axes for my next batch of fimm. I figure the shearl artisans would be able to make some small number of bronze or iron weapons, so I'll scatter a few of these among the fimm units. I don't want them to look like looted dwarf axes, so I've had to make the hafts longer and slightly less crafted looking than dwarf weaponry, with loose leather wrappings and bronze fimir tokens and so on. I'll pop a shot up later on of the first one.

Been following this on your blog - amazing stuff - including the beasties you've been working on.
I've always been a fan of the Fimir, even more so when I picked up an old WD with a Fimir based scenario in it which cried out to be ressurrected.

Sadly ebay prices and terrible putty skills leave me no choice but to sit back, relax and enjoy the brilliant stuff you're putting together!

Nice. Looking forward to updates. Fimir are cool. Used to love em when I was young.
