The Forge World newsletter popped into my inbox earlier, with a tantalising shot of an upcoming release for 2012. I was about to move on when I noticed it had three fingers. It had three toes. Am I looking at one of the new Forge World fimir warriors??
That's exactly what I thought when I saw the e-mail too. :-)

Me three.
ReplyDeleteLooks like I am starting a new army in February!
ReplyDeleteGet back! They're mine! ALL MINE!
ReplyDeleteActually, these look like they will make fine fianna fimm, if they are on 40x40, which I'll bet my mace-tipped tail they are. Monstrous Arcana can't come out fast enough.
Not sure about that weapon though... doesn't look gringly enough. Are Forgeworld pursuing the same general GW trend towards manga miniatures?
ReplyDeleteI think some of the monsters suffer from that a bit, the thundertusk and perhaps the war sphinx, (which I still like, all the same) but I have a good feeling about this guy. It looks like a stone weapon, but I won't be able to tell if it suits the model until we see more.
ReplyDeleteThe clothing/armour looks a match to the concept sketch. Have to say though, as with most GW things these days, they just don't make 'em like they used to! Give me the character of the 80s minis any day. Or, come to it, a Reaper or Confrontation mini over a Citadel. Wonder what this guy's face looks like...
