Spanish 3D sculptor Tatiana Klein has launched BRAWL & POM: Fantasy Football Collection on Kickstarter, offering nine complete digital team rosters and modular stadium scenery designed for home resin printing. Based in Malaga, Spain, the campaign cleared its modest £250 funding goal within hours of going live, drawing tabletop hobbyists and independent print shops seeking alternatives for their fantasy sports leagues.
While tabletop roleplaying games often revolve around theatre of the mind or skirmish maps, fantasy football occupies a competitive board-gaming niche where tactical positioning on a gridiron pitch takes precedence. Tabletop sports have enjoyed an active renaissance this year alongside competitive rulebook revisions, but for many players outside the tournament circuit, the genre remains unfamiliar territory. Is it merely a showcase for showcase painting and pitch-side dioramas, or do these models serve active tactical rules?
To unpack how fantasy football operates, how sculptors translate positional roles into resin, and why commercial print licences drive the digital ecosystem, Geek Native sat down with sculptor Tatiana Klein.
The Ecosystem Behind the Pitch
Hello, I’m Tatiana Klein, a professional 3D sculptor with many years of experience. This collection combines teams I sculpted for other brands, for which I retain commercialisation rights, with new teams sculpted in late summer and early autumn.
How do Tatiana Klein, Questron Studios, Mr. Who Commercial Rights and BRAWL & POM connect?
I’m a longtime sculptor at Questron, the studio where we started and have worked for many of the major tabletop game developers. We opened Mr. Who Commercial Rights this year to supply commercial licences to 3D print shops. Its catalogue and pricing are intended for businesses rather than personal-use buyers. BRAWL & POM was my idea: a dedicated home for our fantasy football miniatures in a very lively market.
What is the fantasy football hobby like today?
Most people buy the miniatures to play. There is a huge enthusiasm for the hobby across all ages. Painting is naturally part of it, but playing is usually the main reason people buy a team.
How do you approach the branding of these teams?
We aren’t publishing under another company’s brand. Fantasy football is a genre, not a brand: we release our work as fantasy football miniatures, without using names such as Blood Bowl or other Games Workshop branding.
Reading the Miniatures on the Turf
The campaign’s rosters range from familiar archetypes to comedic concepts:
- Elven: Fast positional specialists including Guards of the Tower, Birds of Paradise, Princes of the Deep, and Wolves of the Snow.
- Castillian Knights: A chivalric, human-styled team featuring linemen, catchers, throwers, helpers, and team captains.
- Night Creeps: Bestial ground squads supported by warriors, shepherds, agile riders, and Gorebeasts.
- Burning Sands: An undead roster featuring bandaged skeletons, armoured mummies, and four distinct blocker sculpts across five models.
- The Damn Barnyard / The Farm: Anthropomorphic animals handling standard thrower, catcher, lineman, and blitzer assignments.
- Storm Stompers: Resilient dwarf players including runners, blitzers, blockers, Captain Flint Fireforge, and Gillius Thunderhead.
- Chaos Corn: A comedic squad sporting horned blitzers, Cornspawn, Gorn warriors, and eight Corn Beast linemen.
- Skull Crushers: Heavy greenskin power led by a Mountain Troll, Big Orc blockers, blitzers, goblin runners, and throwers.
- The Black Cross Worshippers: Cultist teams fielding an ogre, two throwers, two catchers, eight blitzers, and ten linemen.
How is the market viable when a team needs relatively few figures?
We ask ourselves the same question! But, as with miniatures in general, people tend to have boxes and boxes of different teams waiting to be painted :) Completing one roster doesn’t necessarily mean you’ve finished collecting.
Are the stadiums intended for play or display?
For play. In our experience, fantasy football is much more about playing than creating exhibition pieces. The stadium scenery is intended to be used around the pitch.
How important are independent print shops to your business?
Right now, shops account for about 90% of our market. Individual hobbyists already have plenty of places to buy files, whereas shops have fewer catalogues they can turn to specifically for commercial use. At www.mrwhocr.com, we have more than 800 catalogue entries, all drawn from our own sculpting business. Supplying those shops is our focus.
How does playing the game influence your sculpting?
Positions such as Thrower, Catcher, Blocker, Lineman and Blitzer are usually clearly distinguished through their poses, armour and just how muscular they are! :) It’s a bit like recognising the equipment carried by a Second World War Marine in an Iwo Jima wargame: those visual cues help you read the miniature’s role on the table.
Where can readers follow your work?
At www.mrwhocr.com and on our social channels, including @BrawlAndPom & @Tatianakleinstudio.
Just bear in mind that we’re primarily a supplier to shops. Individuals can buy from our catalogue too, but the price includes permanent commercial printing and selling rights! :D That’s why an individual figure in our catalogue can cost a little more than a personal-use file elsewhere: you’re buying the commercial rights as well as the sculpt.
