Willmark:

I think they should reintroduce the Firmir (under a different name), as a race of underground nasties.��The warhammer equivalent of Tyranids.��They could burrow their way around the world in the same way as skaven.

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.

wallacer:

Fimir will never make a comeback. GW wrote them out of the fluff a long time ago.

23

Willmark:

The reason I shy away from saying never is who would have guessed Ogre Kingdoms?

24

Malificant:

i dont think they will dump 7th ed in 3 or 4 years of running it. i think 8th is a long way off.

Bringing in a new army is a bit different than eliminating an existing one.

One thing I've learned about GW: never underestimate them, especially now since they are run by a bunch of suits now. Love Warhammer great game, GW... not so much.

torn:

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.

Willmark:

Great post torn I haven’t seen any of those models in AGES!

Uzkul Werit:

If they were slightly bigger, Ogres would be perfect for Fimir. Fimir are the Ogres with Gnoblars as Sheral.

New editions normally come once a decade if that - and at �30 a rulebook thank God for small mercies

I was thinking classic Kroxigor but they only have two poses
31

wallacer:

Most of those Fimir are pretty average figures.

32

AGPO:

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

33

wallacer:

And they could very easily do “counts as” for an Ogre List I guess, so they would still be useable.

There is more than hope for Fimir, because they still exist. They were actually mentioned not long ago in the "Gnoblar Horde" Armylist in UKWD 310.

It said about Boglars, that they lived in swamps and often allied with strange cyclopean daemonic beings.

Willmark:

Looking at them now they kind of look like over grown gobnars, kinda.

Wow, really? That is interesting.
Nice that there are still some people at GW old school enough to remember Fimir.

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

Kera foehunter:

wow those a cool figure. they make some cool slaves too.

39

Uzkul Werit:

Or Orcs maybe. They’re about that size. Some French bloke used the Beastmen army to represent Fimir.

Kera foehunter:

the first one look more like an monkey than a orc. make a cool powder monkey
