Beautiful army! This is the best reward for such a hard work. And the new updates are getting better and better!
Mr Saturday:
After something of a break, the fimir train is leaving the station. The first one-eyed marsh fiend of the new year is a character, the aged dirach Grunsgul. Originally this model was merely a base extender for my meagh to giver her a 50x50mm base, but has somehow ballooned into an entirely new model. The meargh sitting on the floating rock just looked, well, lame, so I had to make a rider that would sit more naturally on the plinth. I also wanted to be able to use Grunsgul on foot. If I had to build a whole new character, I was going to get the most out of him. Thus it was time for magnets. I hadn’t used them before, but once I’d located the appropriate drill bits all was well. The most nerve wracking moment was drilling into the already finished plinth with a power drill, but all went swimmingly.
The model is from Oakbound Games, with some small conversion work. I added horns, as befits a dirach, and also a torc on his arm and a tathlum (concrete balls on a chain) hanging from his belt.
On the plinth itself I added some more bits and pieces. A jawbone, book of spells and scroll, as well as the little familiar. Dirach are also known as daemonfriends, and have a particular daemon they forge a close alliance with. In this case the diminutive scroll carrier.

Question mr Saturday, If i donate a fimir i bought way back in 1990 can it lead your army? Ive heard it’s a bit rare.
Skink:
Yay, the so much waited Fimir-Happy-new-year! Love the Dirach, I really liked the idea of a plinth for the Meargh, but the model came out pretty sweet!!!
Yodrin:
AS always great stuff!!
Mr Saturday:
Thanks folks!

Mr Saturday:
A small update today. Small and disgusting. I’ve had the ‘crew’ for my hellcannon, Crom, primed and on the painting table for some time now. I’m still painting the base they sit into. They are lovely little worm guys from Heresy miniatures. Pretty simple models, the only bit of pop on them is the grub’s face in the middle. Still, it’s another tick off the list.

Small and disgusting is correct, and very very well done!! Great work as always!!
Skink:
Lovely grubs… They are extremely well painted (to the point of being a little bit disturbing)! I read on your blog that you are getting close to 2500 points, any progress you want to show us? Such as unpainted Merlwyrms and stuff?
Mr Saturday:
Thanks indeed! There’s a plenty of bits and pieces, I have some warped fimir, the athach (big monster guy) and some hounds, but nothing in a state ready to show!

Grubs spider and mice … Are not popular with me. I tend to run and scream when i see them.
Mr Saturday:
I’d recommend not looking at my hagwyrms when they are done then. Most. Disgusting. Yet.

I just discovered the Forge World Fimir Warriors, and wondered if you use them, or intend to use them? I’ve read this blog, but might have missed them!

I've read this blog, but might have missed them!I have a set, and they are currently sitting in a unit of eight fimir nobles on my desk awaiting assembly. I need to clear the backlong before I get to them. It's all work work work with this hobby!
Mr Saturday:
A wip of the next model on the table!
