I considered beastmen, the ambush rules and access to units of monstrous infantry would work well, and fits the fluff, but I wanted the capacity to have a high level sorcerer general that will fit the meargh and her larger base, and alas, there’s nothing in the BM list. In the WoC list, the chaos sorcerer lord on a palanquin seems the best fit. There is room in WoC for the dirach as well, so I suppose I chose WoC to fit my theme. I may run a BM list when the army is led by a fimir noble and run a minotaur list. Decisions decisions…
Now, do I paint a second bloodmoon mini fimm, or dive in a do an ogre-sized fianna fimm? Hmm.
Excellent stuff, always fancied trying to resurrect Fimir somehow myself.
Will you be doing some upsized models? I thought the old metal models were a fair big bigger than the Heroquest plastics and with modern scales (everything being upsized), I assumed Troll-size for all bar the slave-caste. I guess it’s personal preference of Goodwin vs Bibby
Thanks indeed. Yeah, I’ll be using the Bibby larger fimir as ogres, I quite like them. I might have a go at doing some new ones, I guess I’ll see how I get on with the human size lads first.
Good to hear. You may have inspired me to have another crack at the,. I think I grabbed a few Heroquest models, but would rather try my hand at sculpting a bigger version.
Crikey Clam, high praise indeed, coming from yourself. Thank you very much! I’m pretty happy with him, I must say. I think I’ll tackle the musician next. The tail is from the chaos spawn sprue indeed. There are lots of usable tail bits on it. The base is from Microart studios.
These savage orcs seems so perfect for this project of yours. Are you planing on sculpting each and ever single head or have you started making moulds?
