Fimir - 2000 points Done and Dusted


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...
The marlryrms and the half dead
The fimm and war hounds
The meargh, shearl wizard and Crom

  4. Love 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.

  5. Thanks 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?

    Amazing job, omg, been following this project for at least a year now, and it keeps impressing me.

  10. 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.

  11. Your 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.

    Skin tone for the mounted Fimm appears more yellowish than your usual fair. I prefer the sallow look. An outstanding presentation.

    1. Cheers Werekin. I reckon they could get up to a fair speed with the right goop under them.

      The 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.

  12. 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.

    1. Anyone having a crack at the fimir gets a thumb up from me, they're a daunting project.
