Mr Saturday:
I’ve got a few models to finish off before I get to them, you can see my last marlwyrm and some more hounds which need some love before the nobles get their turn.
Mr Saturday:
Latest off the painting table are two less than world-shaking yet very satisfying items for the army. Two base extenders, one for the meargh and one for my hellcannon, Crom Cruach. I’ve been tinkering away at the bits I needed for the cannon version of Crom for a fair old while in between other models, and it’s finally off the table. As for the meargh, the first attempt at a base extender turned into a whole new character. My second attempt was less ambitious and worked out just fine. Both of the bases are lined with rubber steel so the models hold fast during gameplay.

Love that Hellcannon! Nicely done.
Mr Saturday:
Just finished is the unit champion for the fianna fimm, Odhrán the finmor. I added some freehand to the axe as it was a bit plain, and while I do love this model, there’s some definite weirdness going on around the hand holding the axe where it meets the body. I essentially painted in some details to mask it. Next up are his five mates.

Astounding output as usual. That Hellcannon is quite cute in a grubby way.
Yodrin:
Always a great paint job from you Mr, and the base is great!!!
Skink:
Yes please! I longed to see this unit done for soooooo log now!
Mr Saturday:
Thanks chaps. Once I finish the hood, the first of his unit will be joining him.
Mr Saturday:
After some weeks of effort, the ettin is finally finished. He was a very enjoyable model to work on that taught me a ton about painting larger models. He was my first forge world model, and I can agree that these are kits intended for the more experienced modeller. But the detail on the sculpt is amazing, and worth the extra effort.
Planning how to assemble and paint his loin cloth took military organisation. Pins had to be drilled where each section of the garment was going to be glued on. The four sections were then painted off the model, as there was no way to reach all the recesses if it was assembled fully before painting. Down that road lies insanity. Once the parts were painted they were glued to the pins so that they lined up exactly. Then I had to greenstuff the gaps between the sections, (greenstuffing an otherwise finished model is not for the carefree) and paint those. Finally, add goat. Actually, I added the goat to give him more of a sense of scale, as there are no indicators on the model that he’s a giant. For the same reason I added the multitude of tattoos and the dead horse and orc skull to the base.
His rules are in monstrous arcana, and are pretty funny. His personality can shift leading to in-game hilarity. He’s super expensive in points, but, meh. I’ll use him for any kind of giant I need for the fimir. He’s a really nice addition to the army, and it’s given me a taste for more large scale kits down the road.
Mmm… resiny.

He turned out splendidly! The veins have an absolutely perfect appearance, as if they actually are being viewed through the skin.

Love the fimir, its a shame they are even rarer than chaos dwarfs
Admiral:
Great paintjob on the giant!
Yodrin:
Superb paint job! Love that model btw
Skink:
Saweeet!!! I’ve actually already seen the model on your blog (which I follow closely). This army is never ceasing to amaze me!!!

First time reader here:
I’m not a huge Fimir fan, although i played Heroquest as a kid. That being said, you surely delivered with the conversions, bases, ideas and paintjob on this army. Big respect from me and i would love to see more!
Mr Saturday:
Thanks all! (Mr Elmer’s nurgle ogres are pretty disturbing, aren’t they?) He was a lot of fun to work on. A big model is a nice break from doing units.
Sticklander:
Looks incredible, as usual! And the way you describe him/her/it makes it sound very interesting to use.
