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.
– From Erin, the Game of Celtic Myth (2005)
Our last Celtic Mythology releases of 2025 give you requested poses for the Fomorians, these being the warband command (CM36). Following on sword, axe and missile-weapon warriors are three new ones, which give you a banner bearer, drummer, and 'officer' (top among the warriors, but lesser than a champion or a hero) to keep them in line. 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% saving built in.
The new codes are:
CM36-01 – Fomorian Chosen Warrior
Holding severed head
CM36-02 – Fomorian Warrior with Drum
CM36-03 – Fomorian Warrior Banner Bearer
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. Each is about 32mm tall.
Every miniature in the range is a single, and alongside this are warbands which give a force with a saving. A hero, champion and warriors. Choose from Fomorian or Pucci, along with Sidhe, Firbolg and Milesian. Here are the new Formorians among others from the range.
Until 19th November (during our Winter Mega Event), the new FMS07 Ancient Obelisk is included for free in every package sent out. Ideal for use in your Erin collection, it is 25mm tall and fits right in.
Thanks and may the Old Gods be kind to you.
