The Month of Marsh is upon us!

[lenihan]

We are entering the month traditionally dedicated to the painting of everybody's favourite one-eyed fen dwellers! Even if you don't have any unpainted HeroQuest fimir or classic Nick Bibby citadel fimir, there's never been a better time to paint fimir, what with with Oakbound's Myeri; Krakon Games' Fomorians; and Ketil Trout's Famhairean kickstarter just about to ship.

Of course if Fimir aren't part of your painting plans, any other boggy creatures you can imagine roaming the fenlands would be appropriate too!

waitaminute, I thought this was the month of March Madness where everybody is supposed to paint weird oddball-type minis with little to no use in mainstream gaming

No reason that can't happen too, but I'm bringing back the old ways.

See e.g. this decade old thread:

Thread 'The month of Marsh- season of Mists and mist monsters!'

Feb 3, 2016

Yes, we're just 26 days away from the season of mists and hobby fruitfulness! That means it's time to lay down the boggy challenge, and I am, of course, talking about FIMIR!

Being a chap who generally has nothing on (two sourcebooks to write, full time job, board game rules to edit and prepare for printing, 15 custom sculpts on the workbench, Kickstarter to ship, dissertation to write, wife, pets...) I am being modest about what I can achieve and am setting myself the completion of some scenic bits to add to my swamp boards, catching up on the additions to my Fimir clan which I started in...

If we're all going off-piste, let's add MARCH! as in "Those are regulars, by God!"

Too many challenges to keep up with!

Need to get my stealers and Fae Queen finished up this month…

I've even mocked up a shonky badge for it, come on!!

Working on this - would that count?

For me, Oldhammer is narrative led. If you share/ portray a narrative reason why it's swampy or marshy or boggy then absolutely The fact that it's a froggie should leave that an open goal but lots of marshy basing and storyline would seal the deal

 

[twisted moon]

i'll see if i have anything unpainted that will fit the theme, but i'm not confident.

And there's always space for a late Slannuary entry too! Bog frogs count.

Thinking either some frogs or perhaps I might dig a shambling mound out of the boxes
