May Your Paintbrush Never Fail!

Many of the people who backed the Fighting Fantasy Legends Kickstarter have started to receive their models from Atlantis Miniatures, which also means that some eager beavers have already started painting them.

For example, here are two impressive pieces painted by FF fan Alexander Ainsworth.

Iain McCaig's iconic Shapechanger brought to life in three dimensions, from Ian Livingstone's The Forest of Doom.

The evil necromancer Razaak, from Ian Livingstone's Crypt of the Sorcerer, with evil minions in tow.

If you have painted any of the iconic heroes or villains from the Fighting Fantasy Legends range, we would love to see them. Please send your photos to info@fightingfantasy.com, and your painted masterpieces could end up appearing on the official site too.
