Happy New Fimir!

Hi everyone, happy 2024! It seems mad but this year marks 10 years since Oakbound started out! Way back in the summer of 2013 I was building a Fimir army to join in the Oldhammer fun. Somebody on the forum (which still exists and is active by the way) asked if I would make the sculpts available for purchase and so my foray into the world of miniatures casting began. The Oakbound  website launched in February 2014 with the Myeri Marsh Demons as the first occupants. Above you can see a couple of the first iteration of sculpts, now in the possession of Scotia Grendel. Throughout Oakbound's history I have revisited the Myeri and last summer, 10 years after the first, I was working on the 4th iteration which will be coming out later this year.
 

The Coral Knights have been promised since 2016! Finally here are the 'on foot' versions, the mounted ones are in moulds and the mounts are being worked on at the moment. 

The Myeri magic-users, being based on the Mystics from Dark Crystal, have four arms. Which is cool. But it is, of course, also a bit niche (within a niche within a niche within a niche!). The fluff tells us that the Tiarna of the marsh demons come in two flavours- warrior Tiarna from the Losbastun and domestic Tiarna from the Oibrithe. We've had a warrior Tiarna for some time and that makes sense from a warband perspective but now this chap can double as the diplomatic Tiarna and a 2-armed magic user.

Here are seven new Losbastun in a more classic Fimir vein. Can you spot the inspiration behind each of these?

That's not a Goodwin... this is a Goodwin! :D The ltd ed 28mm chap is the best ever in my opinion, even given how great Nick Bibby's sculpting is.

Eight of the more heavily armoured sculpts to add to my Fianna Fimm.

Eight less-armoured models to add to the regular Fimm.

And here's all of them together with the original.

Happy New Fimir!
