Fimir - The Half Dead (tester)
The old mind has been bubbling along all morning considering the next fimir unit to paint. I've settled on the half-dead, as it allows super happy conversion goodness. I plan a unit of eighteen, with one filler, which will be the fimir driver standing on the marker stone raising his whip to lash on his undead charges. I think a few half-dead will be emerging from the swamp, and possibly one dragging down a victim below the water too. Fun times. Here's the tester I whipped together at lunch. He's not quite there, needs some roots or branches or something. The skin will be dark peaty brown, but the bone will be regular bone. If I painted it all brown as it would be in reality, this model would be on a one way ticket to boringtown. Removing the plastic base will be the biggest pain in the hoop.

Wow, that's so nice. I might have to do something like that if I ever get back to my undead army. I thought you were using a chaos list, how does this fit it, are they marauders, forsaken?
ReplyDeleteOn the base thing, why not use the mantic bases, they have a hole to slot into. Or you could just glue the tab to a slotta, then build up a bit of earth around it. That's what I did with mine, easier than cutting them off.
Cheers, they're going to stand in for chosen. Undead, but great fighters and rubbery tough.
ReplyDeleteI kind of want to keep the swamp theme consistent as with some pretty disparate units the basing needs to tie them all together. I may sculpt the base around it all the same though, or at least part of it. I did that with most of the fimir.
Very effective, I like that!
ReplyDeletePiltdown man got out of bed on the wrong side ;)
ReplyDeleteLooking good - can't wait to see some paint on them.
