Fimir were always underused I thought and they made great opponents in WFRP. the half daemon thing was always a bit confusing. Zoats kicked butt too!

Nope. They had a bizarre mace that only zoats could use.

I actually though zoats weren't a nessicarily bad idea. The problem with them lied with the fact that they were not thought out enough. The fluff for the was good and could have been pushed further. That being said with the direction that GW took with Woodies is easy to see why the were anbandoned. Quadrapedial (sp?) lizard like creatures usually aren't akin to fairy/elf creatures...

While anything is possible and while I think fimir are indeed cool as well. I don't see it happening. With the limited probability of CDs there is no way they will release a fringe model range. Comes down to resources. By the time GW possibly makes a new CD army book were talking late 2009. If that happens then CDs become one of the first 8th edition books rather then the last 7th.., again idea is cool, just not likely.

i think your best bet for a fimir army is using counts as chaos mortals.

as far as i can remember from hero quest they are servants of the chaos warriors pretty much, in warhammer all i know is that they live on swamps in albion.

using chaos mortals will let you have warriors and sorcerers, and then if you want to make up some kind of chariots and cavalry and things.



judging by this picture it looks like the easiest way of converting them would be from lizardmen saurus, as they have the same basic body shape, and an existing tail.

I'd have to redo the look a bit to be sure, but its mainly the whole "dead race" thing that interests me

Maybe I'll have to feature Boglars in the army then! I'll look 'em up

i have a feeling likechaos dwarfs it is probably a lot easier and cheaper to just convert the whole army. I suppose which army you wan to use to represent them depends on how they used to be. I cant really remember much about them in fantasy but i do remember in hero quest they werent as tough as chaos warriors and certainly not as tough as ogres.

My plan at the moment is to work on my converting and greenstuffing skills before attempting Fimir. When I do it will most probablly be as chaos or dogs of war, maybe lizards

I havent seen any Fimir since HeroQuest. ChaosOrc.com has the plastic HQ ones pretty cheap.
I saw Zoats in an old WHFB battle report, they were fighting on the side of Wood Elves. They were wierd looking Fimir-type Centaurs things.

hola robin welcome to this site - glad you found us!

much thanks for the information, it should give us all something more to ponder about the fimir!

i remember the space zoats, but i can thankfully say the fantasy zoats are from before my time. hopefully im still young lol.

Correct me if I'm wrong but weren't zoats part of Tyranids in 40k and Wood Elves in fantasy? I can't remeber all that much from that time, but surely that's a little odd?

Fimir looked like the first version for fishmen. Anyone know where the idea come from?

id say albion was more britain, rather than any of the seperate countries.

Well said! I feel the same, although here we have to deal mostly with new age freaks invading precolombian pyramids.
As for Albion, I think it refer to the "british islands" just as Kislev refer to eastern europe in general.

You didn't happen to buy any cigars from her did you??

Anyway, I found Fimir mentioned in an old WD index. There is suppose to be a Fimir army list in White Dwarf #102.

Irish ledgends rock! Michael Moorcock did a take off of them in his awesome Prince with the Silver Hand as well.

I can vouch for that! Albion is normally used in reference to Britain. Also, the celtic culture covered the whole of Britain, its simply that England encountered greater imigration, settlement and invasion than Scotland, Ireland and Wales

Thanks for that Robin! What UK white dwarf does the Skaven article corespond to anyone?
