Fimir Team?

Yup Treeman speed is the big one. With them equaling one player, they have to be compromised.

I can't find any reference to Fimir being MA 5 and 6. They weren't part of 2nd edition and 3rd edition rule book, armies book and FRP they are all MA 4.

Fimir imagery is a little confusing. I.e. they were really a half arsed unfinished project. All Fimir are the same size, that being a 25mm base. Which is probably around ST 4 player size and all look pretty similar.

FRP has the most information on them, and a good sized picture explaining the differences. It appears that the figure line wasn't markets correctly. There were basic bodies, but different tails; a noble, warrior and Shearl tail. However for fantasy battle they were not marked that way. What's more Shearls were removed as a usable unit. The heads were also not marked. Labeled heads 1-4 when FRP explained that one of the heads belonged to a Dirach and another a Meargh.

I guess they made a much better role playing race than a fantasy battle race. "Let's go and rescue the women!" So I get the feeling WFB was a bit of an add on.

FRP says this about them:

Size is around 6ft, but they can be up to 8ft. Colour buff to olive green. They have a powerful snakelike tail that is around 6ft in length.

Shearls: Are distinguished by a slighter build and smooth tails.

Fimm: Have tails set with bony knobs which look much like a heavy mace.

Nobles: Have spiked tails set with a terrible cleaver like blade.

Dirach: Have narrower heads, with horns. Smooth tails.

Meargh: Have a head with dank greasy hair, where all males are bald. They may have small horns also. Smooth tails.

They were in WFB 2nd edition (or 3rd, I get them confused) in the Bestiary, and had a army list entry in Warhammer Armies (as a Mercs contingent iirc).
I'd dig my books out to confirm but stuck at work.

That's 3rd ed. 3rd ed they were MA4 across the board. They didn't have a list in 2nd ed (Ravening Hordes), though I think they existed then and may have been in the rule book bestiary.
