The bog raider heads are a tad smaller than the heads I did up for the orcs. That head is bases on Jes Goodwin's limited edition fimir. They should be fine, but something to watch!<br /><br />Yeah, the fimir have a poor reputation with the whole kidnap thing. I don't tend to emphasise it in my force, preferring to concentrate on the whole Celtic myth aspect, but it's an inescapable part of the background. <br /><br />More fimir soon, possibly riding giant worms...Mr Saturdayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03092917415087033316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8999006694513130928.post-10283634360041577702013-06-18T09:59:54.280+01:002013-06-18T09:59:54.280+01:00Heat rays ftw.

Idea stolen, yes :P<br />As an added bonus, I also got the two orc booty thieves by BloodMoon, and I'm gonna share this with you: these will also be converted into fimir. They have a reputation of stealing women, right? I thought it would fit perfectly!<br />Might be a nice addon for your fimir army too (even as fillers) ;)<br />Can't wait to see more fimir painted!Sjenghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12349622754599962420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8999006694513130928.post-56215234322729852462013-06-17T22:07:42.740+01:002013-06-17T22:07:42.740+01:00This sounds rather tasty - one of my favourite Gol...This sounds rather tasty - one of my favourite Golden Demon Entries was the small Slanneshi Genestealer Cult - forget which year or who the painter was but it featured Beastmen and plastic guardsman and a rather fine banner depicting a Genestealer with the head of a Keeper of Secrets.<br /><br />Good to hear the Fimir are still recruiting and you know my views on Heat Rays!

We should get the Fimir together at some point and have a war of the clans... the gathering at Khulaine eh? :) Makes me want to pick up my 'Stealer cult, but they just went in the dip and my metal hybrid found a better home with Chico.

As a big RT fan I felt pulled towards the cult really badly but in the end I gave the Cult/Chaos combo a vote.<br /><br />There is a good line from TV's 'Boardwalk Empire' about tossing a coin to make a hard decision. When it lands you know what you wanted most all along. So the poll was a great idea but don't feel your hands are tied by the results!<br /><br />I really love the background writing. That sort of contribution to the online Oldhammer community is to be applauded, well done and thanks.Warlord Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06477146670213381976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8999006694513130928.post-57315454763633332782013-06-17T14:13:49.505+01:002013-06-17T14:13:49.505+01:00I'm happy your still doing your Fimir, they ha...I'm happy your still doing your Fimir, they have after all inspired me too start mine. I like your idea of a the Cult, Chaos and Genestealers have always gelled in my mind since WD 117.
