Fantasy Tribe Orcs


This gallery has been revamped with better pictures - Click here:



Fantasy Tribe Orcs - FT0 Series - April 1982

Most of this range were issued with over 20 different head variations

FTO14 was a late addition - Single pose - separate shield 

FTO15 was issued by Ral Partha in the US - Single Pose 
(which is why I missed him - I'll add him when I get to the C Series Orcs)

FTO6 has two distinct poses - The axe forward version is more typical

The axe on the wyvern rider is from my bits box (he came with a wire spear) 
I raised his saddle for a better pose

  1. Ogron Foulbreath was my first ever Citadel miniature and it cost the, at the time, the earth shattering price of 50p.

  2. Is this the full series - do you have them all?

    1. I don't think anyone has focused on collecting all of the varieties.

    2. I probably had them all in the 90s, when I'd amassed about 600 of the FTOs. All of them went to France in about 2002

  3. Great stuff, and perfect timing - I've just prepped a dozen or so preslotta orcs. Most of them seem to be Fantasy Tribe, but there are a few C series in amongst them. The variants are interesting; I have three variants of FT08, for instance.
