What are the fishmen? Am I missing something?

There is a thread about them knocking around the Rules section.

I recommend... orcs. They look like a blast.

where are the fishmen rules???

I think Ostlanders are a great idea, my favorite Human warband, but to add some more fuel to the debate how about Outlaws?

Off topic: Hey Edward, why not use Lizardmen rules for Fishmen, the
aquatic rule is all you really need...

thanks but i'm trying to focus on my ostlanders

and maybe the wargame factory vikings for a norse warband

back on topic outlaws are cool

but what about......Shadow warriors

(just to add to the debate)

Don't go shadow warriors, no one likes the pointy ears.
My vote goes with the green (and black) skins, WAAAGH.

I just saw a thread concerning dragonogres? :p

but seriously... Pirates!

Reiklanders. Just an excuse to use the cool GW direct only Empire heroes really. Them and a box of the Huntsmen would do for your whole warband plus spares for future warbands.

Reiklanders.

Ive desided to make a new Skaven warband wich would be a elite group of Skaven being formed from members from other clans and have serten influences from them. Ill post my progress of this warband in a new thread.

Fish/Lizardmen FTW!

Fimir! (only kidding) My friend Frogprince reckons there is a line mentioning the swamp-dwelling rejects in the new Warhammer rulebook release. I got the book but haven't spotted it yet.

Spotted another honourable mention of those needle-toothed aquatic warriors though. It's in the timeline for anyone who is interested.

My vote for your new warband goes to the Merchants Caravan. It brings more excitement to a campaign than any other. It's very colourful, has lots of character, and many different choices of where your warriors can come from!

what about the norse??

come on bersekers AND a werewolve!!!!

Fimir are 'official' again.

Their existence has been acknowledged at least in the largest publication I've ever purchased. The 2010 edition Warhammer rulebook. Everyone can rejoice and start a new warband!


P.121 Warhammer Rulebook - Battlefield Terrain: Marshland

Quote :

Mist-wreathed Swamp
The vapours of this swamp hang in the chill air, hiding those within from the gaze of their enemy. Yet who knows what horrors lurk within the mist, just waiting to pounce?

If the majority of a unit's models are wholly within a mist-wreathed swamp, the unit counts as being in hard cover.

However, at the end of each Movement phase, the unit must pass an Initiative test, or have D6 models dragged to their doom by the monstrous Fimir lurking in the mist (the victims are selected using the same manner as the allocation of shooting hits).

With only three types of marshland listed by GW designer Mat Ward, the odds are that every table-top gamer is going to run into these mysterious swamp daemons at some point...

hmmmm swamp monster warband

All this talk of fishmen makes me want to stuff the ratmen and turn to fishy variety instead so ill will probably modify the Lizardmen rules and and convert my orcs since ive got over 100(realy need to paint them (unless someone is looking for some i might trade or sell))

Orcs converted to fishmen? Sounds like something from one of Monty Python's pet shop skits.

(We want pictures)

Disguised as fishmen!!!!

That could be done....

yes,yes,yes big slimy fish orcs!

So you honestly want me to use Fishorks if so i best start making some rules for this new breed.
