They look exactly like Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay Fimmirs. Is this name restricted?
If not Pendraken should cosider naming them that way. I guess many Warmaster players would
welcome the idea of making Fimm army.

My initial idea was where the fimir came from :)

Any more thoughts on this?  I'm currently leaning towards either 'Troggs', or 'Fimms'.   :-\

Like Troggs, but, my Spidersenses are tingling....
Think 'Troggs' may be copywrite of Reg Presley...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Troggs
or a swimwear company...
http://www.troggs.com/
or a 'World of Warcraft' Beastie...
http://www.wowwiki.com/Trogg
Or a football team in the Ashford & District Sunday League
http://www.troggsfc.co.uk/index.html

GW may object to to 'Fimms'....

I'm still backing Trevor!

They are definately 10mm scale GW Fimir sculpted back in the 1980's by Nick Bibby.



As with pretty much everything the GW does however they were direct 'rip-offs' (i beleive the frame it as 'paying homage to' the ancient Irish Fomorian 'sea devils'

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fimir

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fomorians

How about going with the Old Irish 'Fo Muire' as the name; perhaps corrupting it to Fomur?

Alternately, since they're cyclopean, name then Balori after the fomorian King Balor of the Evil Eye?  (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balor)

By the way...LOVELY sculpts!  Me likey... :D

I doubt the Troggs would be banging on our door for copyright!   :D

They were designed to similar specs, but distinctly not as Fimir.  We've actually purchased them from a guy in the US who had them sculpted as generals for an army.

Maybe, I'm wary with odd names that people won't take to them.

Hmm, possible.
