Mr Saturday's collection of venerables

Would a Genestealer Cult infiltrating an Undead, vampiric tribe of Khorne worshipping, Dwarf Fimir who had settled in Khemri having travelled there in a Space Hulk be out of the question? :mrgreen:
 
I'd like to see a Chaos Renegade force, but genestealer cult would be awesome too.

I've never seen a full Fimir army before, yours is fantastic. I've always been fascinated by the Fimir models, they're quite unique looking in the fantasy setting. The only ones I've got are the plastics from the Heroquest game! I'd love to get some of the rare metal ones, but that'd be difficult I think. Perhaps one day.

Now there's a model worth converting.
 
Know it's a bit late, but I don't think anyone said it yet so... Roy Eastland. He did that skeleton range you mentioned in your first post.

Very nice stuff! I really should do a similar thread.

I posted these on the Mumblings the other day, but I feel this is their natural home. RT FTW.
 
Cheers all!

At the moment I'm still very much in the process of tidying up some loose ends with the fimir before I launch into any new units. One of the things I wanted to do was to make a small base extender for my meargh so she could be mounted on a 40x40mm base or a 50x50mm depending on how I was going to field her. Just a wee base add-on I said to myself. Texture the edge to match her 40x40mm base, paint it up, and done.

This is what I ended up with.

As you can see, the idea expanded a bit. Still some water effects to go on, but other than that, done. When I was digging through my bits box looking for interesting little bits for it, I thought hey, why don't I make it into more of a floating slab of rock magically torn from the bog. Then I could use it to give the meargh some height when she's pretending to be a daemon prince, or I could even magnetise the top so I could put other fimir characters there if I needed a disk rider. So that's the way it went.

I was looking at it last night thinking while it's pretty versatile, does the base sitting on the stone look a bit weird? I've looked at it so much now I can't tell anymore. The other thing is the magnetic steel holds the magnetised base down well, but it's not going to take a major jostle. I have visions of my meargh taking an undignified tumble mid-game.

One thing I am thinking of is to just add a permanent rider to the plinth. A dirach, possibly. Then I could add some paraphernalia to the rock, a familiar, spell book or some other bits. The familiar would be especially appropriate for a dirach. Here's the model I'd be thinking of using, from Oakbound games. He'd need a little conversion, some horns and perhaps a weapon, but other than that he's pretty much bang on. His pose would work well as a rider.

I'd then work up the original base extender for the meargh, and lo, I'd have the meargh and a new mounted character.

Or, maybe I'm just making work for myself.
