That last fact kids is widely considered the reason why fimir were dropped in the first place

[@InquisitorThomas]

From I heard there was also an issue of the model size, the models were as big as ogres but their stat lines were more inline with orcs, and since whether or not a model to could attack another model is based on if they touch bases the Fimir just got butchered because they would be overwhelmed by other races, also the models were more expensive due to the size so there was even less reason to take them.

[@username12120]

I was going to make the same comment! Such a shame that such a cool idea for an evil race ended up getting dropped because someone in manufacturing screwed up the molds.

[@SuperCosmicSpaceMagnet]

@@InquisitorThomas Same sort of problem Beastmen infantry and Marauders had in 8th (and probably earlier editions, but I don't know much about them), base size was just too much larger than the statline justified.

[@baybarsedturner2]

Why would they drop them for that when Beastmen, Dark Elves and Slaaneshi's do the same thing? The latter two for fun?

[@phreakazoith2237]

The lore is fascinating and elaborated but having Skaven and lizard men to choose from there is not much fanbase left for Fimir I guess. The cast system with the auxilary races bears similarity to the Tau.

[@TheBayzent]

To be honest I'd use them. I'm a massive Lovecraft fanboy and I love the concept of ancient pre human species wanting to recuperate the world that was taken from them. I also love Dragon Ogres for that same reason.

[@Awesomotron2k]

Chaos turtle men, I love it.

[@esbensloth]

I never knew that one weird monster in Hero Quest had this much lore.

[@dank_smirk2ndchannel200]

From what we’ve seen of the new AoS "Stay out of the Mire" teaser trailer, there's a possibility that the Fimir might come back in AoS.

[@ctb3335]

As much as I love the kruleboyz, oh I wish

[@fumarc4501]

Fimir remind me of mutant Lizardmen or lovecraft fishmen, but more amphibians then deep ones.

[@pistolhero1973]

I thought about the "snake-people" in Death Dealer : former humans, mutated into snakes.

[@ThatElephantSeal]

Nice and comprehensive video, the Fimir are extremely mysterious both in Lore and their backstory to the conception of the race is equally interesting.

[@jumbothick2984]

Completely agree Seal,

[@fumarc4501]

It’s cool to see Chaos Worshippers other then humans and Dark Elves.

[@travisfanelli3927]

The first time I saw these guys was in HeroQuest which for many years I had no idea was based in the Warhammer World. So cool.

[@thegametroll6264]

Do the fimir remind anyone else of the skeksis from dark crystal?

[@jasonexplosion154]

I always thought they bore a resemblance, but this video is the first time I've heard mention of them celebrating the breaking of a crystal in their history, or using large curved swords to win positions of status.

[@evilanno3394]

Being one eyed and being associated with Albion I would guess they are partly inside by the formorian of Irish myth.

[@cat_in_a_sock1948]

Especially with some being called "Fianna" lmao

[@kelvinsantiago7061]

Wait! They have a fan made army book?? WHERE!?! TELL ME

[@hjallebyss2603]

awesome video man! Keep it going!

[@jasonsantos3037]

I like known races in the warhammer world

[@phreakazoith2237]

uh...hooray for mankind being more attractive toward the Chaos gods. win - win.

[@jigglyanonbloop1169]

Nice to see something about these guys. My only problem is your pronunciation of fianna, otherwise good work!!

[@CFkatehudson]

thier was a 6th edition event i think that had these as well

[@Titan360]

So....the Fimir are Fomorians?

[@jumbothick2984]

You could say that

[@TheBayzent]

Yes. The Chaos giants and the Fimir both drink from that.

[@alexandersilady4751]

They're clearly inspired by the Fomoraigh... but honestly they look more like a Celtic version of the Skeksis from "The Dark Crystal" to me.

[@irishMinecraft]

WE NEED FIMIR NOW

[@shinmusashi44]

I know this is years old now, but a correction. Fimir aren't ogre size. If you look at all the original art, they are the same size as a human. But the models are large on a 40x40 base. That was a mistake. Something happened and the artist thought they were ogre sized and sculpted them large. But they are supposed to be human sized on 25x25 bases.

[@nerf.zombiemikula1394]

Please, do a lore video on Albion itself

[@Fezio130]

Hmm i hoped for some new information when i stumbled onto this video, but its only Wiki, and first edition WFRP book :/

[@angrylizardman1472]
