Fimirach Nobel and Warriors
Fimir Warriors
Tamurkhan the Maggot Lord

These two kits and one combined kit (the Nobel is still up for sale but with the warriors gone the noble is likely on its last legs too). Are/have been removed from FW sale. They are gone from the US store, but are still up on the UK store which might simply represent the very last stock being held for them. I contacted FW and got the following message:

hanks for getting in touch regarding the Tamurkhan the Maggot Lord and Fimir models.

I am sorry to say these have been removed from the web store and discontinued from the Forge World product range.

For now, we have no information on them returning to the range but what we do know is that it is very rare that once an item has been discontinued that it will be brought back into our range at least in its original form as we once knew it.

We do forward on product requests to our design team to show what level of interest a retired product has and on rare occasions, we may see a model return due to popular demand.

I will forward on another tally for the product you are wanting

Thank you again and sorry for any inconvenience

I've highlighted one important part of the message. Of course the other important part is that people actually buy the models as well, moulds that get worn and near the end of life that have only trickle sold models over the years are less likely to get repaired/updated than those which have a healthy sales volume. As gamers I think its important to remember that if we want FW models to remain a thing then we've got to do our bit to support them - I say that as FW has many people buying and using the models from 3rd parties or endlessly talking about buying them but never actually pressing the buy button.
In the end if we want FW to remain then in a way its on us (as well as GW who honestly could do a lot more advertising, casual mentioning and such) to push the issue.

I'd also take this moment to remind (esp AoS players) to send polite requests to GW in email to ask for things like the rules for myrwurms to be added to the Idoneth and other such changes which make solid lore sense and also a visual choice as well. For those many Idoneth players who would love to field that wyrm or other odd choices within the listings. IF we don't ask, if we don't buy and if we don't show interest then it might well go the way of the dodo.

Fimir Warriors is one horrible kit to put together.
The Noble isn't that old and a much better kit, so I'm sad to see them all go, because it means we likely won't see the additional teased models released.
It doesn't help that their rules are pretty bland, compared to ogres, which are similiar in points and size.
I only bought mine to use them as Gorgers in my ogre army.

Though it opens the possibility for GW to do a Fimir army. Warcry is getting a Fomorian-ish thingy, so who knows?

I thought Fimir and Skin Wolves would've gotten plastic releases ago.

Writing was on the wall for the Fimir for some time.

They did have preview sculpts for characters years ago, but they disappeared and then it was said at a Q&A seminar that the Fimir line wasn't being expanded. Once that was said, they were in that all too familiar limbo of sculpts/concepts that had no place in any other part of their parent grand alliance.

If you order from the UK site can you have it shipped to the US?

No, I don't think GW would allow that normally since the exchange rate prices would be wrong. However you could try asking around the "loot" group on facebook or such to see if you can get someone to buy it for you and ship it over. Better if you've a UK friend you can trust to do it for you.

Chances are you can actually order through the UK store, you'd just have to have a UK address for the product to be sent too.

There are i think reshipping services available. Ie they provide you address(basically their address with your identifier) and send it to you. You pay shipping fee plus bit extra. I use similar from japan and have seen such mentioned for uk as well

Damn, I'm sure glad I picked today to stumble in here for the first time in like a year. Thanks for the heads up, OP.
