That's right, I've made it to 2000 points. I can hardly believe I got this far. It's been a long project.
I kicked off this army in 2011 with a test model, the fimir from the old Heroquest game. I then wrestled with the conundrum of building human size fimm warriors, eventually having to make my own heads and a multitude of bits and green stuffery to make the fimm the way I wanted. In the end there were only seven models in the army that have not been converted.
I've had breaks from the project for months at a time, but it's been my main hobby project for nearly three years. This give you some indication of how slow I am at this. It's been really fun though, I've had the notion to do a fimir army for years, and now they're ready to go to war.
Of course, this is only the beginning...

Congrats :) Such a fun project with great results
ReplyDeleteThis is a great looking army, Saturday; it's wonderful to see the Fimir return in such an impressive manner.
ReplyDeleteCheers folks.
ReplyDeleteVery well done - I know all about long projects and the massive satisfaction that can be gained when you get to a big milestone like this!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to the next additions...
Tremendous work :)
ReplyDeleteLove it and I totally understand it takes some time to convert and build everything and then paint them. Especially when done with such great detail as in this army, and when seeing it all at the same time....just wow! Keep up the great work Mr Saturday.
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone. @Len, cheers mate, thanks for the mention on FB. ;) @Thant, well, it wouldn't be a fimir army without some fianna fimm now, would it?
ReplyDeleteI thought the Shearl wizard and Crom were much bigger!
ReplyDeleteAmazing job, omg, been following this project for at least a year now, and it keeps impressing me.
Absolutely awesome stuff Mr.Sat! Looking forward to seeing them on the table.
ReplyDeleteImpressive Army and work,, the paint job is great too.
ReplyDeleteSo good to see a Fimir Army ;)
Congrats !
Bye Nico
Fantastic achievement. Many things I like with your army from the solution for glowing eyes to the overall look and of course, it's a Fimir army.
ReplyDeleteGenestealer cult up next?

Thanks all! As for up next, for the time being it's more fimir, to make 2,400 points. After that, we'll have to see.
ReplyDeleteYour wyrm-riders are quite the spectacle sir. They're way cooler than those Khemrian surfin' snake-rider dudes! I can totally see 'em catching bodacious waves of sludge out in the swampier areas around the Reik Estuary.
ReplyDeleteSkin tone for the mounted Fimm appears more yellowish than your usual fair. I prefer the sallow look. An outstanding presentation.
Cheers Werekin. I reckon they could get up to a fair speed with the right goop under them.
DeleteThe skin is pretty much the same as the other fimm, perhaps the lighting is making it look more yellow. To be honest though, slightly differing skin tones would not be a bad thing to work in.
Awesome! Absolutely inspiring. I'm hoping to make some progress on my fimir project this weekend, but I know that mine won't look anywhere near as good as yours.
ReplyDeleteAnyone having a crack at the fimir gets a thumb up from me, they're a daunting project.
