The Fimir
The warrior caste of the Fimir, the Fimm, together with the elite warriors the Fianna Fimm are a scourge to human settlements along the coasts of the Old World. The Fimir are obliged to raid and carry off captives in order to perpetuate their race as there are no fertile female Fimir. In fact the only female Fimir are the Meargh or 'Witch Queens' which rule the Fimir race. The Meargh's are powerful wizards but they hardly ever travel far from their fortresses. More commonly seen amongst the Fimir raiding parties are members of the Fimir wizard caste, the Dirach or Deamon Fiends. Raiding Parties will also normally have a number of Shearl (Slaves) in attendance, although these are looked down upon by the warriors themselves.
Fimir are humunoid creatures, slightly larger than human sized, with great barrwl chests and powerful limbs. They have tails, the shape of which varies depending upon social standing and age. Warriors tails generally end in clubs and maces whilst nobles have spiked or bladed tails.
Witch Queens are unique amongst the Fimir in that their heads are covered in lank hair, they have horns and have smooth ratlike tails.
All Fimir have but a single eye and their skin tone is normally light green or buff.
Special Rules
Covering Mist : A unit of 5 or more Fimir models generates a
magical mist that protects them from the piercing rays of the sun. Whilst
the Fimir can see out of the mist normally enemies can only vaguly make
out the details of the unit until it is close up. Thie effect of this mist
is to impose a -1 to hit penalty on missile fire directed against the unit.
Any Fimir models not protected by mist is subject to Stupidity,
including character models.
