Nice pose, more dynamic than the GW versions.  Never understood why they didn't do more with the Fimir.  One of the few things GW made that were fairly original...or did I miss some British comic book or something that they lifted the idea from?

Thanks, yes itīs a real shame but we always have Heroquest
Regarding the originality and according with wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fimir

"Inspired by the Fomorians of Celtic myth, they are depicted as humanoid, cyclopean creatures with barbed tails and beak-like snouts, with skins that varied from a dark green to a muddy brown colour. They are described as being part Daemon."


"The Fimir were created at the behest of Games Workshop's then-owner, Bryan Ansell who wanted a race "to be as distinctive of Warhammer as the Broo are of Runequest".[2"

And a fun fact 
 
"However, the Fimir did not prove popular, and disappeared with the 4th edition of WFB, although this did give them time to make a guest-starring appearance in Milton Bradley's HeroQuest." 

Cheers

Great sculpt. Wasn't the reason for the Fimir's unpopularity simply that the designer sculpted the creatures much larger than the game designers had intended? They were originally supposed to be on 25mm bases, but ended up on 40mm bases, making them very underpowered in game terms.
