Fimir Balefiend (Shadows)

Balefiends revel in the instability they create between worlds, urging the Dark Gods to favour the Fimir once again.

A millennia ago, amphibious humanoids known as the Fimir were favoured by the Chaos Gods. Then, as the Gods turned their attentions to the more vibrant and amusing race of man, the Fimir were abandoned. Having since existed in reclusion, they now have a common cause with the Norscan tribes, doing the bidding of the Ruinous Powers as way of regaining their favour. Their mysterious Balefiends wield a powerful magic that appears crude and ritualistic to outsiders, but is incredibly potent. They spend prolonged periods away from the swamps, harvesting power from daemons to destabilise the barrier between the mortal world and the Realm of Chaos.

Abilities

  • From the Mist
    Dark figures move and twist within the magical miasma woven by the Fimir Balefiends as additional protection against the foe.

    This unit can hide in forests until enemy units get too close.
