The other day my lead mountain coughed up some miniatures I don't remember having bought at all, despite the fact it can't reasonably have been all that many years since I bought them (probably more than five, but not much more). They're obviously "inspired" by Citadel Fimir but they're not from Citadel or Forge World, and they strike me as being fairly new sculpts and castings. In fairness they're not exactly like Fimir – they're more humanoid in posture and probably a bit smaller, pretty much the size of bulky 32mm humans. It's the heads, tails and style of their kit that mark them out as unambiguous Fimir imitations. There's three sculpts/poses and I have two of each, so they probably came as two identical packs of three. Their tails, heads and hands (holding weapons) are separate pieces, so I could assemble them as six different poses with little to no converting. The torso and legs are separate pieces for one of the three body sculpts. The lower jaw is a separate piece for one of the three head sculpts. In the same bag were two (duplicate) snake-headed semi-nude female figures, some sort of squid-headed humanoid merman with a trident and a tall female human fighter/barbarian in a scalemail bikini, holding her sword aloft with her hair and cape blowing in the wind. Judging by the sculpting style, the metal and the bases, they must certainly be from the same manufacturer as the not-Fimir. They too look like fairly new sculpts and castings, nothing retro about them. Do they ring a bell? I was binge-buying miniatures for a behemoth swords-and-sorcery project without abandon some years ago and these must have been acquired as part of that feeding frenzy. Either that or my lead mountain has finally reached critical mass and begun producing new miniatures all of its own (in which case, does anyone know how I can train it to make Hydrissians?) |

Could they be the ones from Blood Moon miniatures? link |

That's what I was thinking too. The Bog Raiders. |

That's them, many thanks! I'll be wanting those reinforcements and that Bog King, now. Ooh! There's more snake people! And Arachnids! |
