Sláine: Kiss My Paintbrush!
Alternative Armies Fomorians
Alternative Armies had a very good offer on their Erin models before Easter and Gavin was very helpful in sorting out the best deal. They even threw in a free skull pile. Great delivery turnaround too. Highly recommended.
I overindulged somewhat, getting Fir Bolg, Sidhe and Fomorians. I’ve painted the latter now and baring some extra bases that will arrive Monday I’m done. They are painted with Plasmatic Bolt in the way I described in the original Fomorian entry earlier in this project. The NMM bronze effect on the shields and armour panels is a mix of Palid bone, Dark Wood and Speedpaint Medium. Verdigis is stippled Nihilakh Oxide Citadel Technical paint with the upper surfaces wiped back to the bronze tone.
I’ve got a group of three with Spear and shield.
Two smaller Fomor called Pucci in the Erin range. These will make ideal companions to Fomorian characters in the same way as dwarves do for the human factions.
This is the skull pile I got as an extra gift from AA, thanks 🙂 Palid Bone then a drybrush of Citadel Foundation Dheneb Stone.
Now the witch’s guard with their long swords and shields and capes to match their mistress. The capes are Blood Red.
Fomorian witch and her bodyguardsAnd finally a collective shot with one of the Warlord Fomorians for scale. I think they look great together and give less uniformity to the Fomorian force which fits better with my idea of what they are like from the graphic novels.

I must say I do like the mix of size with those Erin models. It works well with the sea demons being all different sizes. I think the little one on the skulls looks a little like a gremlin.
It’s funny I’ve just finished my fomorians also, just got Balor of the Evil Eye to paint now.
You must be nearly finished. I’ve only got the Earth Tribe heroes to go, about half way done with them. I’ve started getting the big stuff finished. I’ll post the Fomorian mammoth later today if I have time.
You have a mammoth, wow!
