I've just posted up a list on Lead Adventure, so do go along and take a look. There might be something we can swap!

A study in practical nostalgia, travelling back to the early 1980's with a fistful of cash, to buy all the stuff I couldn't afford on a paperboys salary.

RUSS NICHOLSON AND THE FIEND FOLIO
Back in the 1980's the wonderful art of Russ Nicholson featured heavily in White Dwarf, Fighting Fantasy gamebooks (what fun they were) and The Fiend Folio. Following a recent post on Russ' blog I thought I would dig out a few figures that seem to have been based on his work (he confirmed my comment that he remembers Citadel sending him some samples).
First up, one of my favourite figures produced by Citadel in the good old days The Dark Creeper (sold as a Gnome assassin in the Fiend Factory range). What a great sneaky pose
The Styx Devil (marketed as a Satanic angel). I remember this was produced way before the Fiend Folio was published,

The Skeleton warrior is in a different pose, but wearing exactly the same armour tunic and headband
A quick flick through the Fiend Folio and I can't find any more directly relating to Russ' art (except the Grell perhaps?).
