The true and original inhabitants of Erin are the Fomorians, or the Fomori as they call themselves. Though other peoples would debate this claim, it is true that their remote ancestors battled the Partholan, and were perhaps created by the Ancient Craft that raised Erin from the primordial black seas. The Fomori inhabit the cold seas, and have many rocky enclaves of the coasts and roughly build stone fortifications inland; they even have a few Crystal Towers left from the times of Culach and his successors. A Fomori is a creature of the cold waters, and though they stand from three feet to near twelve feet in height, with a normal warrior being about six foot, they all have wet, scaly and blotched leathery skins. The Sea Devils, or Helpers of the Fomori, are the smallest and weakest of their peoples, and the mighty Champions of the Fomori are the largest. A typical warrior will go to battle near-naked, armed with his teeth and sharp fingers carrying perhaps an iron sword or a spear and a poorly constructed shield. Lofty ideals form no part of the Fomori soul. They war for very simple reasons: conquest, cruelty and avarice. Their plans are evil and darkness embodied, none walk the coastal paths without one eye on the foaming waters of the cold sea.

By Axe and by Sword, and now for the first time, Fomorian warriors with missile weapons! Two poses with bow and one with a sling. Give your Sea Devils more range. Three new 28mm metal miniatures sculpted by Sam Croes. These three have – as with every other code in the range – been added to the All of Erin Bundle, which gives you everything in the range with a 5% savings built-in.
The new codes are:
CM35-01 – Fomorian Warrior With Sling
CM35-02 – Fomorian Warrior Loosing Bow
CM35-03 – Fomorian Warrior Drawing Bow
The warriors of Fomor are bigger than Pucci, but smaller than their Champions and Heroes. They are stronger than the Man-sized Fir Bolg, but the Fir Bolg are more nimble.
Every miniature in the range is a single, and alongside this, we have warbands which give a force with a savings. A hero, champion and warriors. Choose from Fomorian or Pucci, along with Sidhe, Firbolg and Milesian. Above is the Hero Fionn MacCumhail and his Warhounds (CM15).
