  • Tendrils of Doom - Led by Kroll starting at Monument of the Moon, Lustria
    
  • Rancor Hold - Led by Skattach starting at Wreckers Point, Wastelands, Old World
• Minor Factions
  
  • Marsh Hornets - Floating Village, Badlands
    
  • Mist Dragons - Baleful Hills, Cathay

• Complete New Race 'Fimir' - Like the Wood Elves, Chaos Daemons or the Empire, Fimir is its own distinct race. In general a new race will have it's own unit roster, legendary lords, mechanics, diplomatic relations, technology tree, magic lore, spells and everything else you might expect from a distinct race.
  
• Full Custom Roster - The Fimir race has a fully custom roster with access to some vanilla units, the custom units all draw from the tabletop and lore. This not only includes units, but fully custom heroes, lords and legendary lords, all with unique visuals and using custom made models, assets and animations.
  
• Two Playable Custom Factions - There are two unique faction from the Fimir race to play as 'Tendrils of Doom' and 'Rancor Hold', there are additionally a number of extra custom battle factions to play as.
  
• Two Minor Factions - Additionally there are two minor factions, to fully feel the presence of this race on the campaign map, these being the Marsh Hornets and Mist Dragons located in the Darklands and Cathay respectively.
  
• Custom Mechanics
  
  • Godhood Ascension - The 'Tendrils of Doom' faction has a unique faction mechanic where in Krolls pursuit of godhood they must conquer and erect mighty temples in their name. While the temples themselves offer great boons, collectively the more you build the higher Kroll ascends which bestows great power.
    
  • Gifts of Chaos - 'Rancor Hold' have access to the Gifts of Chaos mechanic which has been revamped to fit these cyclopean reptiles.
    
  • Death Quest - Available to all Fimir factions including minor ones, anytime a Fimir faction loses a settlement, lord or suffer a defeat with heavy losses in battle they gain a Death Quest unit. Additionally if any of the Fimir factions are destroyed the remnants seek out new clans with all the surviving Fimir factions gaining access to a limited number of Death Quest units.

Is this mod lore accurate?
With many of these 'Lost Factions', there's little lore to go by, and what there is, is often outdated or extremely vague. The Fimir are an interesting case since they have gone through many rewrites, most of our lore is based on three sources: White Dwarf #102, Monstruous Arcanum and issue #25 of the WFRP fanzine Warpstone, which contains in its entirety 'Fimir: Ruinous Inheritance', an extensive WFRP fan sourcebook on FImir society, culture, religion and behaviour. Penned by Robin Low of WFRP fame, 'Ruinous Inheritance' was going to be an actual, officially licensed sourcebook until GW decided not to publish it for undisclosed reasons. Eventually Robin, with the aid of the people at Warpstone, was able to finish it and publish it as part of their fanzine. A good chunk of the lore in our mod is based on that 'fan' sourcebook, which is likely the closest we will ever get to a full, integral description of the Fimir other than vague lore snippets and grossly outdated lore.
