Fi, Fimir, Fo, Fum - Classic Citadel Chaos - for fun


I've been collecting these wacky dudes for about 2 years. Trying to pick up figures here and there to build up a raiding-party size force. I really didn't know much about these but they passed the 'hmm, interesting' test.

My main aim was to collect at least one of each of old metal range. Not wanting to pay through the nose, I've taken my time and I think I've managed it (I didn't consider the limited edition version because it is a bit small). The remaining figures are the good old HeroQuest board game plastic figures that aren't too hard to find and make up the numbers.

After much thought I decided green skin was suitable for the fighty types and brown skin for the magic characters. Definitely a nice change and a chance to practice painting techniques I don't normally use.

I kept to my usual basing style as I'm not much into skulls and things. All on 40mm square magbases from Shogun. Not a fan of the original GW bases.

Hope you like the photos.

Red eyes on the Fimm give away their blood lust

Smooth tails are a give away of their non-fighter status

    1. The link is probably the best single source of information if you're interested.
