(COMMERCIAL) Ral Partha is back!
« on: April 27, 2015, 01:51:11 AM »
I don't know if this is the right place to post this, so please feel free to move it as needed... Thanks!

While I was at Gary Con last month, I was talking to Iron Wind Metals; they told me that they were going to bring back the classic Ral Partha miniatures, and they have: http://www.ralpartha.com/

There's a Kickstarter starting tomorrow, and lots of stuff going on. They also sent me a dozen sample figures, classic Tom Meier sculpts, and they all look great - very crisp. very clean, and quite a nice selection.

I got started in miniatures about the same time they did, in the middle 1970s, and it's like having an old friend come home. Incredible!

This is great news  :o :o :o All my earliest armies were Ral Partha and I still have them. Seeing those elves, orcs, wolf riders etc has me excited and thinking about adding to those old true 25mm armies once again ;D

Not shure if the Chaos Wars rules are up to todays standards. But I LOVE the Tom Meier Goblins and lately got some of the wire-spear elves, I want to to expand both armies a little and there are loads of other old RP minis I would love to see re-released.

Great campaign, sadly almost over :)

Just the odd stretch-goal not met. My favourite ones were, luckily. I do wish they had advertised it more. Miniature news sites publish the most pointless updates for some kickstarters, yet I saw little for this one.

Out of interest, any reason this thread was posted in the commercial section, while many other kickstarters/crowd funding threads are just the the "adventure" sections (often by the creators)? I know I check the fantasy section multiple times a day, while I almost never look here.
