Fantasy Tribe Fighters (Citadel)
From Lost Minis Wiki
Contents |
Citadel's Fantasy Tribe Fighters range was part of the Fantasy Tribes series. The FTF range was released around November 1982.
In the UK, the FTF series was grouped under four categories - FTF-1 to FTF-4 - but were not given individual product codes. There was also a large, 1-page advert [2] that showed sketches of 119 (!) FTF figures: this shows the bulk of the range. Most of the range would end up in the C01 series in late 1983 where they kept to the same (official) FTF categories. This advert is the best reference for this series.
In Canada and the USA, the figures were given specific codes [1] but they followed the same number-range blocks as the UK. Missing product code numbers in the USA ranges dont exist - it is likely the gaps were intended for future releases. We use the numbered product codes where possible with the addition of the LMW specific categories of FTF-5, FTF-6, FTF-7 and FTF-U - these groupings all relate to the USA / Canada releases.
Note: after Partha and Citadel parted company, some figures in the Ral Partha version of the Fantasy Tribe Fighters series were redesigned.

- This block is listed in rough numerical order as shown on the advert.
- For many of them it is easy to assign them to the FTF-1,2,3 & 4 categories above.
- There are some obvious variants ('X') at the end that are not cataloged and do not later show up in the 'C' Series.
