Thanks folks. The wee scroll holder is an old Citadel familiar from the 1980's.

Supreme. Great work.

Some great work, your Fimir are looking good.

Whoa, really impressive!

Well you don't see that everyday! Exceptionally well done too.

I love the water efects on the bases.

All of them are very nice.

Thanks very much all!

Very well executed army! Loving them Fimirs ever since they appeared in HeroQuest!

More please!

I love this post! not just because of the pictures and models (which are absolutely amazing! i wish i could play against your army!)
but also because you're still replying and using this post. Most people when they post their images often abandon and leave the fans with unanswered questions to the background of their creations!

amazing work! this army some how seems to spring up memories of Dark Crystal! was that any influence behind your army creation?

thanks again for the privilege of seeing your work

Thanks a lot. The Dark Crystal was absolutely an inspiration behind the army. Colour scheme, model choice and basing was all in some way influenced by the movie.

A small update today. Small and disgusting. I've had the 'crew' for my hellcannon, Crom, primed and on the painting table for some time now. I'm still painting the base they sit into. They are lovely little worm guys from Heresy miniatures. Pretty simple models, the only bit of pop on them is the grub's face in the middle. Still, it's another tick off the list.

Latest off the painting table are two less than world-shaking yet very satisfying items for the army. Two base extenders, one for the meargh and one for my hellcannon, Crom Cruach. I've been tinkering away at the bits I needed for the cannon version of Crom for a fair old while in between other models, and it's finally off the table. As for the meargh, the first attempt at a base extender turned into a whole new character. My second attempt was less ambitious and worked out just fine. Both of the bases are lined with rubber steel so the models hold fast during gameplay.

That army is awesome. I haven't seen a Fimir since Heroquest, one of the best board games of all time. Very nicely done all around.

Me too!

Had the pleasure of seeing these IRL at a tourney last year.
My mate dragged me over and simply goes "these are going to win the best painted comp award this weekend by a mile".
He was right.

Cheers! I was pretty delighted with the win I must say. Hopefully this year I can get the display board sorted.

Just finished is the unit champion for the fianna fimm, Odhrán the finmor. I added some freehand to the axe as it was a bit plain, and while I do love this model, there's some definite weirdness going on around the hand holding the axe where it meets the body. I essentially painted in some details to mask it. Next up are his five mates.

Not to take anything away from your painting, but he's clearly mistaken an axe for a telephone there...

Nice freehand work.

Still loving this army. The bases are incredible above, and the monsters just looks nauseating. Great work!

Perfidious Albion, awesome work mate.

These are awesome. I love your bases and movement trays too! It just makes my day when I see really cool customized miniatures.

Wow, very unique and striking army you have. Fimir. Really cool. I have only ever seen them in Hero Quest, I still have a few of those guys. I love seeing them in a full force. Creepy army feel too. Great work.

Outstanding!

Thanks all.

After some weeks of effort, the ettin is finally finished. He was a very enjoyable model to work on that taught me a ton about painting larger models. He was my first forge world model, and I can agree that these are kits intended for the more experienced modeller. But the detail on the sculpt is amazing, and worth the extra effort.

Planning how to assemble and paint his loin cloth took military organisation. Pins had to be drilled where each section of the garment was going to be glued on. The four sections were then painted off the model, as there was no way to reach all the recesses if it was assembled fully before painting. Down that road lies insanity. Once the parts were painted they were glued to the pins so that they lined up exactly. Then I had to greenstuff the gaps between the sections, (greenstuffing an otherwise finished model is not for the carefree) and paint those. Finally, add goat. Actually, I added the goat to give him more of a sense of scale, as there are no indicators on the model that he's a giant. For the same reason I added the multitude of tattoos and the dead horse and orc skull to the base.

His rules are in monstrous arcana, and are pretty funny. His personality can shift leading to in-game hilarity. He's super expensive in points, but, meh. I'll use him for any kind of giant I need for the fimir. He's a really nice addition to the army, and it's given me a taste for more large scale kits down the road.

Mmm... resiny.

That is an excellent addition to your force that really compliments the look and feel of the rest of your guys. Really awesome stuff.

Very nice.
Good skin tones and tattoos.

Thanks very much!

It's been a long time, but the Fir Domhan return!

This handsome fellow is a Myeri Tiarna by Geoff Sims, from the forthcoming Myeri Clan box for The Woods: Legends of Shandisholm (due out August, it looks like it's going to be a beautiful book). He's armed with a Snaghyrn and based on Alan Lee's Fomorian painting. Anyone who has any interest in the Fimir or Celtic fantasy should really check it out. The background of the Myeri is fascintating, and anyone who loves the fimir will love this as dearly. In my own clan this fellow will be Murdach, a noble of the Fir Domhan.

Oh that is nice; are there going to be regular warriors in a similar size, and perhaps a cyclopean sorcerer?

You might say that! This guy is going to be part of a ten model set, which should contain a number of warriors and other characters.
