Reception

edit

Steve Jackson reviewed Fantasy Lords in The Space Gamer No. 62.[1] Jackson commented that "Recommended, especially as a gift for a friend whom you'd like to start in the miniatures hobby."[1]

Ian Knight reviewed Fantasy Lords for Imagine magazine, and stated that "a very nice set; leaving aside the reservation that boxed figures usually work out more expensive per item than those bought individually, they are otherwise thoroughly recommended!"[2]

Edwin J. Rotondaro reviewed the Fantasy Lords Blister Pack Series released in 1984 in Space Gamer No. 71.[3] Rotondaro commented that "The detail and originality of these figures alone would make them a must for any serious collector of 25mm miniatures [...] If you use miniatures in your fantasy roleplaying, the new Fantasy Lords blister packs are highly recommended."[3]

Mike Brunton reviewed Official Bushido 25mm Miniatures and Fantasy Lords for Imagine magazine, and stated that "Overall: Tick, VG, and recommended, for both Bushido and Fantasy Lords."[4]

The Fantasy Lords line was awarded the H.G. Wells Award for "Best Fantasy or Science Fiction Figure Series of 1986 ".[5]
