Re: new Fimir

first of all lets get this out of the way: it's Forge World, it's Games Workshop, it's going to be over priced - judging by current Forge World prices we'll be looking at £43.00 for a pack of 3.

Over all not bad miniatures, but I am going to have to nit-pick a few details here and there - first of all those stone headed maces, they are traditionally the weapon of Zoats not Fimir! (the Fimir Favoured weapon is the double headed axe) and there's the ear-holes, yes nicely sculpted detail, but Fimir shouldn't have them! Also what the fuck is that on the end of the 3rd Fimm's tale?


 ^ it's not just me - that looks like a scrotum - it's not a club/mace tail

Interestingly I was expecting FW to be doing a Balefiend/Dirach (Fimir Magic User) rather than Fimm (Warriors) because of the Balefiend rules appearing in Warhammer Storm of Magic

I think the mace/clubs are a lot easier to mold/cast than a double bladed axe!

These look pretty good, with some obvious flaws as you had pointed out - this is about what I expect from Forge World... I haven't purchased anything from them in a very long time, but have picked up a few more reasonably priced FW items on eBay over the years...

If their prices were a little bit lower, I think I would spend some good money there (same goes for GW!).

P.S. (sorry)

I have no clue what is up with that tail, at first I thought it was some kind of flattened out bone thing to swat with or something, but it makes no real sense at all on this.
