Fimir - Late Night Wyrms

It's a late one here at the mumblings. Having had a fairly marathon day of modelling and painting with me aould pal Craig of Blog of Grudges, we've settled into the wee hours with a combination of fimir monstrous cavalry construction and dwarf warrior batch painting, which we've helped along with one or two sherries*.

I've managed to finally put together the first of my marlwyrm riders (skullcrushers). I had a devil of a time deciding what kind of saddle arrangement you could put on a worm, finally settling on a rough hide thrown over it's back and pretty much nailed in place. I added some assorted extras to the saddle, mostly taken from ogre sprues. There's so many lovely bits of those sprues, from buckets of guts to a pig water-skin. I had some Celtic-style shields from Scibor one of which finally found a home here too.

Only three more to go...


The indefatigable Craig has been churning out great weapon-wielding dwarves, all ready for some dip bar a few bits and bobs. A very productive day, all in all.



* for sherries, see beer.

  1. Looking good! Playing against you must be a joy with those awesome custom armies, even if you lose :)
    What model did you use for the Fimir body?

    1. Thanks. And I do lose, I surely do...

      The fimir body is taken mostly from the GW savage orc boar boy kit, with the tail coming from the chaos spawn kit.

  2. Damn these are sweet mate! I have commented on your stuff at several other forums and just wanted to say - keep up the good and inspiring work. I wish I had the determination to stay with a custom army with the tenacity that you have. Major kudos and now paint some more wonderful half-dead :D

    Cheers Animerik/Gspirate

    1. That's very kind, thanks very much. To be frank, it's encouragement such as this that help keep me on track.

      Three more half-dead on the painting table right now...
